StaticMesh from soft reference not loading using Asynch Load

Hello guys, I am probably slowly becoming insane, I don’t understand why this doesn’t work: I am trying to load stuff (like a mesh) from a soft reference and not a hard one (TSoftObjectPtr ). SO I wrote the following code to do that:

void APickup::InizializePickup(const TSubclassOf<UItemBase> BaseClass) {
	if(ItemDataTable && !ItemID.IsNone()) {
		const FItemData* ItemData = ItemDataTable->FindRow<FItemData>(ItemID, ItemID.ToString());

		ItemReference = NewObject<UItemBase>(this, BaseClass);
		ItemReference->InizializeItem(ItemData->ItemInventoryData, ItemData->AssetsData, ItemData->InteractableData);

		this->InteractableData = ItemData->InteractableData;

		// TArray<FSoftObjectPath> AssetsToLoad;
		// AssetsToLoad.Add();
		
		AssetsHandle = UAssetManager::GetStreamableManager().RequestAsyncLoad(
			ItemData->AssetsData.ItemMesh.ToSoftObjectPath(),
			FStreamableDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &APickup::SoftActorRefLoaded)
		);
		
		// Set the mesh scale (not sure)
		ItemMesh->SetRelativeScale3D(ItemMesh->GetRelativeScale3D() * ItemData->AssetsData.ItemMeshScale);
	}
}

And the following is the code that is executed after the mesh is loaded:

void APickup::SoftActorRefLoaded() {
	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("THE DELEGATE WAS ■■■■■■■ EXECUTED!"));
	// Set the mesh
	if(IsValid(ItemReference->GetItemAssetsData().ItemMesh.Get())) {
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("THE ASSET WAS ■■■■■■■ LOADED SUCCESSFULLY!"));
	}
	ItemMesh->SetStaticMesh(ItemReference->GetItemAssetsData().ItemMesh.Get());
}

Both the logs get executed but the StaticMesh is not displayed.
The mesh is loaded only if I drag the static mesh from the content browser in the scene before running the “game” and I don’t get why. In the table where I get the row everything is setup correctly and the reference mesh is saved as a TSoftObjectPtr<UStaticMesh> . When the actor is destroyed in the BeginDestroy() I cancel the handle AssetsHandle:

void APickup::BeginDestroy() {
	Super::BeginDestroy();
	// if the handle was not already destroyed, destroy it
	if(AssetsHandle && AssetsHandle->IsActive()) {
		AssetsHandle->CancelHandle();
	}
}
