Cannot update using findOrFail method in Laravel - php

Question

I am a newbie in Laravel. So I am trying to update my form but it kept returning fail because I used the findOrFail method on the Controller.
But when I tried to dump the Id, the Id does exists.
Only when I call it using the method, it returns null.
Route for update
Route::post('/alumni/updateProfile','AlumniController#update');
Update method
public function update(Request $request, User $user, Profile $profile)
{
$user->roles()->sync($request->roles);
$profile = Profile::findOrFail(Auth::user()->id);
$profile->name = $request->name;
$profile->matric_no = $request->matric_no;
$profile->contact_no = $request->contact_no;
$profile->address = $request->address;
$profile->batch_year = $request->batch_year;
$profile->graduation_year = $request->graduation_year;
$profile->date_of_birth = $request->date_of_birth;
$profile->area_of_interest = $request->area_of_interest;
$profile->start_date = $request->start_date;
$profile->company_name = $request->company_name;
$profile->job_title = $request->job_title;
$profile->social_network = $request->social_network;
$profile->save();
return view('/home', compact('profile'));
}
Profile model
class Profile extends Model
{
// protected $guarded = [];
protected $fillable = ['alumni_id'];
protected $table = 'profiles';
public $timestamps = false;
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
User model
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role');
}
public function profiles()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Profile');
}
public function hasAnyRoles($roles)
{
if($this->roles()->whereIn('name', $roles)->first()){
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function hasRole($role)
{
if($this->roles()->where('name', $role)->first()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
Glad if any of you noticed anything, thank you.

You can write findOrFail() in try catch blog and get the exception in catch blog to understand the error.
OR
you can write below code instead of findOrFail().
$profile = Profile::where('id', '=', Auth::user()->id);
if( $profile->count() ){
# Assignment of values to database columns fields and then save.
$profile->save();
} else {
# Print No Record Found.
}
