I cannot see the modal pop up when chrome is running via selenium

Question

I am trying to automate filling a form to upload marks of each student.

Scenario when filling the form manually:

1. Click on a button, modal pop up appears, fill form.

Problem when automated:

1. Clicking on the button does not open modal pop up.
2. I tried clicking on the same button manually by adding time.sleep() when chrome is being controlled by automated software, it still doesn't show the modal pop up.

Can the modal pop up be blocked when I try running the form through selenium?

I am running the chrome web driver for v78+
