Access changes when Sharing a SharePoint file

Question

When I try to Share a file from Sharepoint to a group, I set the share permission to "Anyone" but when I actually share it the permission says "This invite will only work for you and people with existing access"

I have not changed any permissions or access or anything. I have it set for anyone but it changes the permission when it sends and then people that are forwarded the shared file cannot access it despite being having the setting as "anyone" initally
