Event Listener (Gamification) / DB storage issue

Hello & Happy Holidays.

My Users can follow Partners within the Test Application. I generated an Event (FollowedPartner) and a Listener(AwardPointsForFollowing), so whenever they follow a Partner, they should be awarded with x Points.

I’ve followed the concept of a “points adjustment” model with a foreign key to a user, and a polymorphic relation to a model. Then, I set up event listeners to award points based on various events.

With the following implementation the Follow functionality works (after I implemented the listener, the with('info', 'Followed') will not be shown, anymore (So something is happening)), but it won't store any points within the points_adjustments table.

points_adjustments table:

Schema::create('points_adjustments', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->unsignedInteger('user_id');
    $table->string('event');
    $table->integer('points');
    $table->string('model_type')->nullable();
    $table->unsignedInteger('model_id')->nullable();
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
    $table->index(['user_id', 'points']);
});

User.php

protected $events = [
        'created' => Events\FollowedPartner::class,
];

    public function pointsAdjustments(){
           return $this->hasMany(PointAdjustment::class);
    }

    public function awardPoints($event, $points, User $user){   
    $adjustment = new PointAdjustment([
            'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
            'event' => get_class($event),
            'points' => $points,
        ]);

        $adjustment->user()->associate($user);

        return $this-> pointsAdjustments()->save($adjustment);
    }

PointAdjustment.php

public function user(){
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}

Events/FollowedPartner.php

public $user;

public function __construct(User $user)
{
     $this->user = $user;
}

Listeners/AwardPointsForFollowing.php

public function handle(FollowedPartner $event)

     {
            $event->followPartner()->user->awardPoints($event, 5, $event->followPartner);
     }

followPartner() at User.php

public function followPartner(Partner $partner){
        $this->partner()->save($partner, ['followed' => true]);
}

ProfileController (follow)

public function follow(Partner $partner, User $user){

        $user = Auth::user();
        $partner = Partner::where('id', $partner->id)->first();


        Auth::user()->followPartner($partner);

        return redirect()->route('partner.show', $partner)->with('info', 'Followed.');

    }

Is there something I am not getting correctly within the setup?
