test a file upload in postman

Question

i am creating a method that should upload a file to an api.the method isn't uploading the file into the specific folder.and upon testing on postman i get a 200 ok status code but the file isn't uploaded on sending it at postman.

this is the method in the imagecontroller

 public function pushimage(Request $request)
 {          
  $file=$request->file('image');
  if($request->hasFile('image')){
    $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
    $newimage=rand() . '.' . $extension;
    $file->move(public_path() . ("/images/product/fileimage/"), $newimage);
    return response()->json($newimage);
}else{
    return response()->json('file not found');
}   

}

this is the api route

Route::post('/push_image','imagecontroller@pushimage');

upon uploading the file in the body section in postman it returns the response of "file not found". i havent understood what am doing it wrong to prevent the execution of the function.

i had forgotten to tick this button here in postman.also add the boundary and define it
