how to resolve expo error when running github repo - react-native

Question

i had a github repo that i coded a few months back, i tried opening the repo and running it and its not working. Every time i try to run it i keep getting the same error. I tried all the solutions to similar question but none of them work. When i create a new expo project it works, but as soon as i paste my code from my repo i get that error.
here is the error i keep getting:
node_modules/#react-navigation/native/src/index.tsx: [BABEL]
/Users/myname/Desktop/app-frontend/node_modules/#react-
navigation/native/src/index.tsx:
You gave us a visitor for the node type TSInstantiationExpression but it's not a valid type
