Convert drop down in text format to date format

I have seen various other questions in the community, but I can't quite get my equation there, I am trying to convert a drop down from a form to a date in the adjacent column. All dropdown items are formatted as follows:

7/07/20

Here is what I am trying:

=DATE(VALUE("20" + RIGHT([Testing Date]@row, 6, 7)), VALUE(MID([Testing Date]@row, 3, 4)), VALUE(LEFT([Testing Date]@row, 1)))


any thoughts on why I can't get this to work?
