Popover segue from uicollectionview cell Swift

I am trying to instigate a popover segue from a button within a collection view cell. However, I can't set up an ordinary segue because I get an error about anchoring.

As I try to set this up programatically, I'm not sure whether I need to write the code within the collection view cell class or within the view controller (that the collection view sits in).

At the minute, I have my code within the collection view cell, as this is where the button is, but when I click it, nothing happens.

Code:

class LocationItemCell: UICollectionViewCell, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var iconView: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var iconLabel: UILabel!
@IBAction func infoButton(_ sender: Any) {
    let popController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "popoverController") as UIViewController

    popController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.popover


    popController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.up
    popController.popoverPresentationController?.delegate = self
    popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sender as? UIView // button
    popController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = (sender as AnyObject).bounds
}

func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
    return UIModalPresentationStyle.none
}

}
