Dual Y-axis not plotting time series properly

Hi,

I have several charts tracking various daily COVID-19 metrics overt time. When we crossed into January 2021, both the bar and line chart put the new data before March 2020 despite the it being formatted as a date. I added:

    type = "date",
    range = c('2020-03-01','2021-01-31'),
    title = ""),

![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 5.36.42 PM|686x500](upload://iPUcIL7dUFdoFkBwUY5qzhfGHgi.png) 

This solved that issue, but I can't figure out how to fix the line graph.


totaldeaths <- plot_ly(death) %>% 
  add_trace(x = ~Date,
  y = ~`NEW DEATHS`, 
  type = 'bar', 
  name = 'Daily deaths',
  marker = list(color = '#969696'),
  hoverinfo = "text",
  text = ~paste('Daily deaths<br>', `NEW DEATHS`)) %>%
  add_trace(x = ~Date,
  y = ~`SEVEN DAY DEATH`, 
  type = 'scatter',
  mode = 'lines', name = '7-day avg.', yaxis = 'y2',
  line = list(color = '#a50f15'),
  hoverinfo = "text",
  hovertemplate = '7-day avg.<br> %{y:,}<extra></extra>') %>% 
  layout(title = 'Pa. COVID-19 deaths',
  legend = list(orientation = 'h', y=1, x=0.5,xanchor = "center"),
  margin = list (r="70"),
  xaxis = list(
    type = "date",
    range = c('2020-03-01','2021-01-31'),
    title = ""),
  yaxis = list(side = 'left', 
  title = 'New deaths', showgrid = FALSE, zeroline = FALSE,
  range =c(0,500)),
  yaxis2 = list(
    side = 'right', 
  overlaying = "y", title = '7-day avg.', 
  showgrid = FALSE, zeroline = FALSE,
  range = c(0,500)),
  annotations = 
    list(x = 1, y = -0.1, text = "Source: Pa. DOH. Note state removed 201 probable deaths 4/23", 
         showarrow = F, xref='paper', yref='paper', 
         xanchor='right', yanchor='auto', xshift=0, yshift=0,
         font=list(size=10, color="black")))

Thanks,
