What to do if actions on the page are not performed after a program click, when if you click manually everything works?

Question

JavaScript

Hello! I am writing an extension for the Browser, which should interact with the site vk.com . The extension should click on the element with the class "top_audio_player_title" (after clicking on it, a menu pops up with your current music playlist). The problem is that when you click manually - everything works, but if you click through .click() , the menu will not pop up. With other elements on the page, everything works fine and is clickable.
