is there a way to fix 'npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE in react.js'" - npm-scripts

Question

I'm trying to create an application using Django framework as a back-End and React.js as the front-End. the django portion works just fine, but when trying to integrate the react with my app. I get npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 2. I am fairly new to this technology and I don't quiet understand where the error is coming from.
I tried cleaning up the cache and deleting the node_modules repo and then npm install but it didn't work. so i turn to you asking for help skilled programmers
this the error i get:
ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve './gentelella/frontend/src/index.js' in 'C:\Users\USER\Desktop\finale\django-gentelella\gentelella'
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 2
npm ERR! gentelella#1.0.0 build: `webpack --mode production ./gentelella/frontend/src/index.js --output ./gentelella/frontend/static/frontend/main.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 2
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the gentelella#1.0.0 build script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

It seems to me like your path is wrong. Try using removing the gantelella folder from the path, so this leaves 'frontend/src/index.js'.
This assumes you have structured your folders like this:
C:\Users\USER\Desktop\finale\django-gentelella\gentelella\frontend\src\index.js
