Did you add a factory or a collection factory as the component?

Yes, I did, as was shown in documentation

Add a collection factory instead, your screenshot shows a normal Game Object factory?

Compare with your factory - you have a normal factory, you need a collection factory instead.

collection factory → spawning Collections
factory → spawning Game Objects
