stop video from playing when modal is closed

I have an iframe video in a modal that I am able to stop when the modal closes in an html document, however when I try to accomplish the same thing with the same code in WordPress, it continues to play. I have an iframe with the id="video" and a modal with the id="videoModal".

The script I'm using is :

$(function() {
    $('#videoModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function(e) {
        var src = $('#video').attr('data-iframe-src');
        $('#video').attr('src', src);
    });

    $('#videoModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(e) {
        $('#video').attr('src', '');
    });
});

For WordPress, I enqueued it with:

wp_enqueue_script( 'videomodal_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/video-modal/js/videomodal.js', array('jquery', 'bootstrap_js'), '', true );

in my videomodal.js file, I tried leaving as is, and changing to jQuery(function($) and that didn't work either. I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't work in WordPress.
