Error: Cannot find module '../utils/appleAuth' on npm start

Question

here is the imports that I am using currently to implement apple auth on the backend

const Joi = require('joi')
const logger = require('../common/logger')
const errors = require('../common/errors')
const helper = require('../common/helper')
const models = require('../models')
const _ = require('lodash')
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken')
const ms = require('ms')
const constants = require('../../app-constants')
const userService = require('./UserService')
const adminCommonService = require('./admin/AdminCommonService')
const User = models.User
const VerificationCode = models.VerificationCode
const fs = require('fs');
const AppleAuth = require('apple-auth');
const config = fs.readFileSync("./config/config");
const auth = new AppleAuth(config, 'config/apple/authkey.p8')



/**apple auth 
*/
const config = {
client_id: 'YOUR APP ID',
team_id: 'ZUU8485r88T',
redirect_uri: '', // Leave it blank
key_id: 'YOUR KEY ID',
scope: 'name%20email',
};
const appleAuth = new AppleAuth(
config,
fs.readFileSync('assets/apple/AuthKey_HVC8C93672.p8').toString(),
'text'
);

export const appleAuth = async (req: Request, res: Response){
 const { token: appleToken } = req.body;
try {
//retrieve apple Data from AccessToken
const apple = await AppleAuth.accessToken(appleToken)
const appleData = jwt.decode(apple.id_token);
//get apple Id
const{sub:appleID}=appleData;
//count the number of connections of user
const user = await User.findOneAndUpdate(
  {appleId},
  { $inc: { nbOfConnections: 1 } },   
  {upsert: true, new:true,userFindAndModify: false}
   );
   return res.status(200).json({user});
  } catch (err) {
    return res.status(500).json({message:err.message || err});
  }
};

and here is what my package.json looks like:

When i run npm start I get this error, Any ideas? internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:969 throw err; ^

  Error: Cannot find module '../utils/appleAuth'
  Require stack:

I have tried re installing npm, deleting my package.json folder and node modules folder. I have tried re installing the library as well with no luck. Every time I use npm start I get the same error. I am pretty new to api's and would love some help. thank you!
