Django Admin Static Files Not Loading When DEBUG Is False

I deployed my Django app with DEBUG set to False, and although static files load correctly on the main website, the admin page is missing them. Below are my settings and URL configurations for reference:

Screenshot of the admin page:

settings.py:

PYTHONCopied
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
if DEBUG:
    STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),]
else:
    STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

urls.py:

PYTHONCopied
urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('about/', about_view, name='about'),
    path('members/', members_view, name="members"),
    path('contact/', contact_view, name="contact"),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root = settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

I appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
