Attach files to a form for outside users

I have these flows and items set up to complete it:
- The form with the link
- A list to record all form responses
- Onedrive folder where the file request is created from
- A document library in sharepoint with:
- Lookup field from the list where the form responses are recorded
Flows:
- When a form response is submitted, create item in list
- When a file is created in onedrive folder, create/move to sharepoint document storage.
- A notification step helps to know when we need to go in and do the next step
- When an item is modified in SharePoint.
What the process looks like in real life:
- Submitter fills out the form
- Submitter uploads a file via the file request
- Flow records the response
- Flow moves the file to sharepoint
- You are notified
- You go into the sharepoint document library and choose the correct form response to connect; in the lookup field. (This may be a form response ID or name, depending on the context of your form)
- Flow recognises a change being made, takes a copy of the document and attaches it to the form record you picked.
I hope that makes it more straightforward.

ok, thanks for your explanation, but this requires manual action to bind the file and response and get the second flow get triggered. It's fine for a few applicants, but for more than 100 is unfeasible.
