Hug auto layout doesn't update after changing text variable

I’m currently making a Chants of Sennaar prototype for a school project using figma. I’ve come across this issue while making the annotation feature of the journal. When the user submits their text using the arrow button, i update the text variable of the bubble to the user’s text (see attachment). This works fine, however the bubble’s hug auto layout doesn’t seem to pick up the change and therefore doesn’t adapt to the new text’s length.

Is there any way to fix this ? The text in itself also has the “hug” property and the bubble + text is a variant (if that changes anything).
