SpringBoot, Thymeleaf, Gradle: not accessing static resources, css not showing

Question

I have tried so many things at this point, but my css will not show on my pages. this is my thymeleaf page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <title th:text="${title}">Default Title</title>
    <link th:href="@{/css/styles.css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>

this is the error i get when I load this page, which i assume it important:

**2018-04-11 05:57:08.425  WARN 7904 --- [nio-8080-exec-2] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound             : No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/css/styles.css] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'**

I have my static resources in the PROPER folder, like this (image link):

Folders path sources>main>resources>static and then another css folder, which i did add to the @{}.

I have searched and search everywhere for answers, I even added this to my WebMcvConfigurerAdapter class, like I kept seeing:

@Configuration
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry
                .addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
                .addResourceLocations("/resources/");
    }
}

This is my current one(im using interceptors and stuff, just disregard that part):

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MyAppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {

        registry.addInterceptor(new ProjectManagerInterceptor());
    }
}

This is my build.gradle file, in case it helps:

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.5.10.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

group = 'org.launchcode'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa')
    compile('org.springframework.session:spring-session')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    runtime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools')
    runtime('mysql:mysql-connector-java')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

bootRun {
    addResources = true
}

I have another project that also uses static resources like i'm trying to do, and it works perfectly. I will post some of it's code and information, in case it might help.

I just found the answer to my own question, so I'm going to leave this hear for anyone who might find it.

Spring Boot not serving static content

I had an unnecessary @EnableWebMvc annotation, that I took out, and my resources worked :D!
