Help with uploading code to attiny 85

Hi, I am the biggest noob regarding all this type of stuff. I am trying to use an arduino uno to upload code to an attiny 85. I have triple checked everything and replaced all the parts to no avail. I progress until I try to burn the bootloader, then I get this error message:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Error while burning bootloader.

Heres a picture of the wiring

Thanks for your help!

update: I didnt have the USB plugged in correctly, here is the error message I have normally been getting - Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "ATtiny25/45/85, ATtiny85, Internal 8 MHz"

Make sure you uploaded the File > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP > ArduinoISP sketch to the Uno.
