Cannot call function in openzepplin ERC1155 contract via web3/metamask

Question

I am trying to call the balanceOf function in a pretty barebones openzepplin ERC1155 contract through metamask.

I am using web3 only to generate the ABI, and metamask to actually send out the call.

Here is my code for the call,

const call = web3.eth.abi.encodeFunctionCall(
      {
        name: 'balanceOf',
        type: 'function',
        inputs: [
          {
            type: 'address',
            name: 'account',
          },
          {
            type: 'uint256',
            name: 'id',
          },
        ],
      },
      [account, 0]
    )
    console.log(call)
    // const from = account
    // /// 0x6c90b4eb
    return window.ethereum.request({
      method: 'eth_call',
      params: [
        {
          to: '0x7889d99522630E457cD522493eB7dE1C17e90a9D',
          data: call,
        },
      ],
    })

and my code for the contract is here

pragma solidity ^0.6.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC1155/ERC1155.sol";

contract GameItems is ERC1155 {
    uint256 public constant GOLD = 0;
    uint256 public constant THORS_HAMMER = 1;

    constructor() public ERC1155("https://URL.XYZ/{id}.json") {
        _mint(msg.sender, GOLD, 100, "");
        _mint(msg.sender, THORS_HAMMER, 1, "");
    }
}

I am running it on ganache, which shows only one contract being made, which is this one. The address being passed in is not undefined and is the owner of the contract.
