Errordocument not redirecting to custom 404 page

So I have a website and I want it to redirect to a custom 404 page I made when it gets a 404 status, so this is inside my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 404 https://domainname.com/404.html

Which also contains code to remove the extensions to be able to go to a page like this domain/file without having to specify the trailing extension and Options -Indexes to disable directory browsing. Now when I go on a page that does not exist I get this page:

(PS: I’m using brave browser thus the presence of the wayback machine prompt)

Page and this status:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

But it does not redirect to my 404 page as specified in my .htaccess file.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I fixed it by adding

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

and replaced Options -Indexes by Options All -indexes. to the top of .htaccess file.
