When I open my update modal, the selected role does not appear in my dropdown

enter image description here

The first value in my dropdown appears selected. I do not want this, I want the value in the row I selected to appear in my dropdown. Can anyone check my codes and help me with this?
I have a table where I display user data and a modal to update the user’s information. When I click the “Update” button, the modal opens, but the first value in my dropdown is always selected by default. However, I want the role value from the selected row to appear in the dropdown.

Here’s my code:

$('#usersUpdateModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
   var button = $(event.relatedTarget); 
   var id = button.data('id'); 
   var role = button.data('role');
   var modal = $(this);
   
   // Populate the input fields with the selected row's data
   modal.find('input[name="users.Id"]').val(id);
   modal.find('select[name="users.Role"]').val(role);  // Here is where the role should be selected
});

@foreach (var k in Model.users)
{
    <tr class="text-nowrap">
        <td>@k.Id</td>
        <td>@k.Role</td>
        <td>
            <button class="btn btn-outline-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#kullaniciGuncelleModal" data-id="@k.Id" data-role="@k.Role">
                Güncelle
            </button>
        </td>
    </tr>
}

<div class="row mb-3">
    <div class="col-md-5">
        <label class="col-form-label">Role</label>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-7">
        <select asp-for="users.YetkiId" class="form-select" required>
            @foreach (var y in Model.yetkiler)
            {
                <option value="@y.Id">@y.Role</option>
            }
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

The roles in the dropdown are pulled from the “Yetki” table, which contains role information.
YetkiId is a foreign key (FK).
What could be causing the first value to always appear selected, and how can I fix this so the selected row’s role appears in the dropdown when the modal opens?
