Gif selection issue for posts on X in Safari after macOS Sequoia update

I recently updated my 2021 M1 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar to Sequoia 15.3 and Safari 18.3, and now, for some reason, when I am posting on X.com through Safari, I can open the gif option to add a gif, but once I type in a gif description in the search bar the next window just has colored rectangles instead of the gifs themselves. This did not happen until I upgraded to Sequoia 15.3 and Safari 18.3 two days ago.

I have checked Safari settings to see if changing to "Allow All Auto-Play" fixes it. It doesn't. I have cleared my History Cache, closed Safari, and reopened it. Doesn't fix it. I have shut down my Mac, waited, restarted, reloaded my window and tabs. Doesn't fix it. Could definitely use some help here, or find out if this is a bug that needs a hotfix.

The only place I can recreate it is MacOS on Safari. Gifs work on my iPhone X app, and they work on the same Mac Studio is I switch to Chrome. So it's Safari ever since the last MacOS update. Been well over a week now where I have to switch to iPhone or Chrome to post a gif. Not sure why Safari or MacOS can't fix this with an update. But one thing is for sure that it is nothing wrong with X.
