Issue with constructor->send() function

[aerory]

This is my solidity code:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.9.0;

contract CompanyData {
address public admin;
struct Data {
uint256 amount;
string amount_type;
string cid;
}

mapping(address => Data) public dataStore;

constructor() public {
    admin = msg.sender;
}

modifier onlyAdmin() {
    require(msg.sender == admin, "Only admin can call this function.");
    _;
}

function storeData(uint256 _amount, string memory _amount_type, string memory _cid) public onlyAdmin {
    Data storage data = dataStore[msg.sender];
    data.amount = _amount;
    data.amount_type = _amount_type;
    data.cid = _cid;
}

function getData() public view returns (uint256, string memory, string memory) {
    Data storage data = dataStore[msg.sender];
    return (data.amount, data.amount_type, data.cid);
}

}

//I will be calling the storeData() function in my Laravel Project
function storeData(Request $req)
{
$response = $this->addStatement($req);

$amount_type = $req->input('amount_type');
$callback = function ($err, $result) {
if ($err !== null) {
print('failed to interact with the smart contract function: ' . $err);
return;
}
};

try {
  $store = $this->contract->at($contractAddress)->send('storeData', $amount, $amount_type, $cid, $callback);
} catch (Exception $e) {

return redirect('/');

}
function addStatement(Request $request)
{

$key = env('ENCRYPTION_KEY');

// **Encryption Step:**
if ($description && $key) {
  $encryptedDescription = $this->encryptDataWithOpenSSL($description, $key);

  return response()->json(['error' => 'Description or encryption key missing'], 400);

  //print("Connected to IPFS\n");

  // Attempt to add content to IPFS

  if (!empty($result)) {

    //print("Stored encrypted data on IPFS with CID: " . $cid . "\n");
    // dd($encryptedDescription, $description, $data['amount'], $data['amount_type'], $cid);
    // Return the CID as a response
    return response()->json(['cid' => $cid], 200);
  } else {
    // Print or log the error message
    print("Error storing data on IPFS: Unable to retrieve CID\n");
    print_r($result); // Print the result for further debugging

    // Handle failure to retrieve CID
    return response()->json(['error' => 'Unable to retrieve CID from IPFS'], 500);
  }
} catch (Exception $e) {

I wanted to store some data such as the amount, amount_type and CID onto the Ganache network by interacting with the smart contract which i have deployed onto the Ganache Blockchain, however, it kept prompting me "Wrong type of eth_sendTransaction method argument 0." but i think the way i call the contract->send() looks just find, Github Copilot suggest me to write my param like this "[$amount, $amount_type, $cid]", but if i do that, i will get this error stating "Please make sure you have put all function params and callback."
