Rotating a gear with shaft

Hello,

So I am new to inventor and I am trying to create a simulation in which a shaft rotates and the a spur gear attached to the other end rotates with it. When I apply torque to shaft, the shaft does rotate but the gear does not. I believe I have done something wrong with the constraints. Could somebody help me out with this. Thanks in advance!

Add a Mate - Flush constraint between appropriate Origin workplanes of the shaft and the gear.

Attach your assembly here if you can't figure it out.
