on micro:bit simulator, the function game.onTouching does not run with 2 game sprites

here is the code:
run it here

let score = 0
let dead = false
let difficulty = 1
let bopper = game.createSprite(2, 2)
let bopOne = game.createSprite(2,2)

//create bopper that follows tilt
function setBopper() {
    bopper.set(LedSpriteProperty.Brightness, 125)
    bopper.set(LedSpriteProperty.X, Math.map(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), -1023, 1023, 0, 4))
    bopper.set(LedSpriteProperty.Y, Math.map(input.acceleration(Dimension.Y), -1023, 1023, 0, 4))
}

function bopBopped() {
    //if bopper bopped the bop, add score, reset bop
    if (bopper.isTouching(bopOne) == true) {
        score = score + 1
    }
    basic.showNumber(score)
}

//input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, bopBopped)
basic.forever(function() {
    //bop1 to random position
    bopOne.set(LedSpriteProperty.X, 0)
    bopOne.set(LedSpriteProperty.Y, 2)
    basic.pause(1000)
})

basic.forever(function() {
        setBopper()
        if(input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {
            if (bopOne.isTouching(bopper) == true) {
                score += 1
            }
            basic.showNumber(score)
        }
})

I tried to print some text to see if the if statement asking if they were touching was working, but nothing came out. I don’t see why this doesn’t work since the led’s are on the same tile.
