[SOLVED]Failed to mount /boot error after fresh install

After installing arch yesterday, every time I reboot I get this error:

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.

I can still use my system and it works fine but this is something I should fix. I looked into "etc/fstab" and "lsblk -f" and saw that the file types were different and so were the UUIDs for the boot partition. So I edited "etc/fstab" so that they match the details in "lsblk -f". However I still get the same error!

Here are their outputs after I edited them:
lsblk -f:

Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advanced!

You forgot UUID= on this line.
