Unable to use UMG in c++ gamemode class

Hi, I am trying to implement a simple HUD in c++ for my game by following this video

So in my gamemode class I have the following :

	protected:
		//widget class for hud
		UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere,BlueprintReadWrite)
		TSubclassOf<class UUSerWidget> HUDWidgetClass;

		//instance of hud
		UPROPERTY()
		class UUserWidget* CurrentWidget;

in my gamemode.cpp i’m trying to do the following:

#include "Blueprint/UserWidget.h"

 void ACSUEGameMode::BeginPlay(){
    	if (HUDWidgetClass) {
    		CurrentWidget = CreateWidget<UUserWidget>(GetWorld(), HUDWidgetClass);
    	}

This is giving me the errors: “Use of unidentified type UUserWidget” and " ‘StaticClass’: identifier not found"
I have included the “UMG”, “Slate”,“SlateCore” into my build.cs file and also re generated my visual studio project files

I have these includes in my projectname.h file

#include "Runtime/UMG/Public/UMG.h"
#include "Runtime/UMG/Public/UMGStyle.h"
#include "Runtime/UMG/Public/Slate/SObjectWidget.h"
#include "Runtime/UMG/Public/IUMGModule.h"
#include "Runtime/UMG/Public/Blueprint/UserWidget.h"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Ive been googling stuff for about an hour now and I cant seem to figure this basic step out… Any help is appreciated

Open your projectname.Build.cs and make sure you see this code:

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "HTTP", "Json", "UMG", "Slate", "SlateCore");

To use UI “UMG”, “Slate”, “SlateCore” must be added to PublicDependencyModuleNames
