Image not appearing in Ttkinter window

What I'm trying to do is to display the image cover from a flac file like in the pic below (this one is hard coded).

I ripped the cover with the function getCoverFlac from my code, but the problem begins when I try to update this img with my imgSet fucntion, the image to load exist(can see it in the dir and can even be used hard coded), but the image wont appear in the Ttkinter window. I believe its receiving the right file name since it returns the name correctly:

name of cover to display:Shikao Suga - Yuudachi ('99 NHK Hall 0 Live).flacCover.jpg  

so how can I fix this? full code bellow:
