how do i link email to a repeater button?

hello guys i’m having a hard time figuring this one out! i tried this code below and it works fine elsewhere on another page! which is strange?


$w.onReady(function () {
  $w("#profileSearch").onReady( () => {
    $w("#repeater5").onItemReady( ($item, MemberProfile, index) => {
      $item("#contact5").link = 'mailto:' + MemberProfile.email;

      }
     );
  } );
} );

this is the whole page code

import { session } from 'wix-storage';

import wixData from 'wix-data';

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

let searchAgain, searchIcon, mentionTraderTxt, noTradersFound, listSize,
    currIndex = -1;

$w.onReady(function () {
    mentionTraderTxt = $w('#mentionTraderTxt');
    noTradersFound = $w('#noTraderFound');
    searchAgain = $w('#searchAgain');
    searchIcon = $w('#searchIcon');

    $w('#repeater5').data = [];
 let trade = session.getItem("trader");

 if (trade) {
        $w("#input2").value = trade;
        $w("#input2").placeholder = trade;
        $w('#profileSearch').onReady(() => search());
    }

 
    $w('#searchBar2').onKeyPress((event) => {
        setTimeout(() => {

                $w("#rptDropdown").collapse()
                    .then(() => {
                        console.log("Done with collapse");
