Javascript – How can I get a user via UserID in a slash command?

I have been programming a discord bot, following tutorials as needed since I am quite new, but I have come across a problem that, as simple as it sounds, I can’t seem to solve.
I am trying to draw a leaderboard, and for each placement on the leaderboard I want to get the user’s avatar to draw onto the leaderboard. To do this, I want to be able to get the user through just the UserId. However, I am doing all of this in a separate slash command. Here is a very simplified version of what I’m trying to do to give some context and/or maybe a better explanation:

const { SlashCommandBuilder, AttachmentBuilder } = require('discord.js');
// ... some functions and what not go here
module.exports = {
   //... lines for setting up the command go here

   async execute(interaction){
       const data = fetchData();  //A function that gets the whole list of data; did not put it in the codeblock to save on space since it's not necessary
       // ... a bunch of stuff, ordering my data, etc.
       data.forEach(async (userData, index) => {
          // And here begins my issue. The line below is just what I have attempted to do
          const target = interaction.guild.members.cache.get(userData.UserId); 
       });
   };
}

I have done a fair bit of research, and the only feasible solution I could find (which you can see is in the above example code) is to do
const target = interaction.guild.members.cache.get("User_ID");
However, even though I can log the return in the console, if I tried to do something like "target.user" it would say target is undefined. And, in case it helps, yes, I do have GuildMembers in my intents.

    If you just want to get the id of the user that ran the slash command, you can use interaction.user.id.

    To get a user by id, you can run:

    //Inside the execute function of the slash command

interaction.guild.members.cache.get("user_id").then(function(user){
    //Do something with user
}

    You need to use members.fetch since it’s async you need to change your forEach to forof because forEach is synchronous

    const { SlashCommandBuilder, AttachmentBuilder } = require('discord.js');
// ... some functions and what not go here
module.exports = {
   //... lines for setting up the command go here

   async execute(interaction) {
       const data = fetchData();  //A function that gets the whole list of data; did not put it in the codeblock to save on space since it's not necessary
       // ... a bunch of stuff, ordering my data, etc.
       for (const userData of data) {
         const target = await interaction.guild.members.fetch(userData.UserId)
       }
   };
}
