Timeshift can't recognize a root subvolume on my btrfs system disk

Hey, I realize that this is definitely a duplicate post but I've skimmed dozens of posts with the same issue and none of the suggestions worked for me.

I'm also almost a complete beginner, been only toying around with Linux systems for about a year or so.

I'm completely lost as to what I'm doing wrong.

"Select BTRFS system disk with root subvolume (@)

This is the output of

btrfs subvolume list /

ID 256 gen 9 top level 5 path _active
ID 257 gen 262 top level 256 path _active/rootvol
ID 258 gen 264 top level 256 path _active/homevol
ID 259 gen 10 top level 5 path _snapshots
ID 260 gen 17 top level 257 path var/lib/portables
ID 261 gen 18 top level 257 path var/lib/machines

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

AFAIK Timeshift requires your root subvolume to be called "@" and your home subvolume to be called "@home".
