Failure to restart puma after capistrano deployment

I 'm trying to deploy a rails app from my machine to an aws linux ec2 using capistrano.

I used the bundle exec cap production deploy command and it actually deploys a new release to the server successfully but it fails to (re)start puma. At the puma restart phase I get this error (For privacy, I replaced the actual app name in the error with ):

01:23 puma:restart
      01 sudo /bin/systemctl restart puma_<app-name>_production
      01 Failed to restart puma_<app-name>_production.service: Unit puma_<app-name>_production.service not found.

** DEPLOY FAILED
** Refer to log/capistrano.log for details. Here are the last 20 lines:

Disclaimer: I inherited this deployment process from a previous engineer so rails/puma/capistrano aren’t my specialty.Any help is greatly appreciated.

Log into the problematic server and run ls /lib/systemd/system/ | grep puma. It should print all puma unit files. Check if the file puma_<app-name>_production.service is there.
