SetScript OnMouseDown for a clickable text-only Frame?

Hello, I'm tinkering with this code to make a clickable "Great Vault" text that opens the Weekly Vault

However, when I click the text, the OnMouseDown script doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong?

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
f:SetWidth(1)
f:SetHeight(1)
f:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
local t = f:CreateFontString(f, "OVERLAY", "GameTooltipText")
t:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
t:SetText("Great Vault")
 
f:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function (self, button)
    if button=='LeftButton' then
        LoadAddOn("Blizzard_WeeklyRewards");
        WeeklyRewardsFrame:Show()
    end
end)

Also, there's a XIV_Databar frame. I'd like to make that "Great Vault" frame's position relative to the XIV_Databar's position. How do I do it?

Try increasing the width and height to something bigger than 1 pixel

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
local t = f:CreateFontString(f, "OVERLAY", "GameTooltipText")
t:SetText("Great Vault")
f:SetSize(t:GetSize())
t:SetPoint("CENTER")
f:SetPoint("TOP", XIV_Databar, "BOTTOM", 0, 0) -- set f position relative to XIV_Databar
 
f:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function (self, button)
    if button=='LeftButton' then
        LoadAddOn("Blizzard_WeeklyRewards");
        WeeklyRewardsFrame:Show()
    end
end)

Hmmm the frame doesn't show up in my screen with that SetPoint

If I put a

Lua Code:

f:SetPoint("CENTER")

it works just fine, but of course I don't want it in the center of my screen.

I tried adding

Lua Code:

local XIV_Databar = XIV_Databar

On the beginning of the code, as XIV_Databar is a frame created by another addon, to no avail.

I also tested in game by running /run XIV_Databar:Hide() and that frame became hidden as intended.

What am I missing?

Also, thanks for all the help and a very merry Christmas to you all!

EDIT:

lua Code:

f:SetPoint("CENTER", XIV_Databar, "BOTTOM", 100, 0) -- set f position relative to XIV_Databar

This worked! Apparently all I needed to do was to move it to "CENTER". Thanks!
