Uncaught TypeError: x is not a function when Importing Factory Function

I have a factory function called updateUI which I am importing into index.js. When imported, the instance of updateUI is recognized, however I am given an error when attempting to call updateUI's methods.

Putting all of the code into index.js gets rid of the bug, but it still has me scratching my head. It seems the problem occurs only when importing. Why are the method's not being recognized?

index.js

import '../../dist/output.css';
import { updateUI } from './display.js';
    
    
const test = updateUI('Daly City');
test.setBackground();

display.js

import { getWeather } from './apiCall';

const updateUI = async(location) => {
    const res = await getWeather(location, process.env.apiKEY);

    function updateCity() {
        const city = document.querySelector('#location');
        city.innerHTML = res.name;
    };

    function updateCurrentTemp() {
        const currentTemp = document.querySelector('#current-temp');
        const farenheit = Math.round((9/5)*(res.main.temp - 273) + 32);
        currentTemp.innerHTML = farenheit;
    };

    function updateConditions() {
        const condition = document.querySelector('#weather');
        condition.innerHTML = res.weather[0].description;
    };

    function setBackground() {
        const date = new Date();
        let time = date.getTime();
        console.log(time);
    };

    return { updateCity, updateCurrentTemp, updateConditions, setBackground }
};

export { updateUI };
