Error While applying patch to react-native on expo project

[ErrorCode996]

package.json

"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-46.0.0.tar.gz"

Error on terminal

**ERROR** Failed to apply patch for package react-native at path

    node_modules/react-native

  This error was caused because patch-package cannot apply the following patch file:

    patches/react-native+0.69.1.patch

  Try removing node_modules and trying again. If that doesn't work, maybe there was
  an accidental change made to the patch file? Try recreating it by manually
  editing the appropriate files and running:

    patch-package react-native

  If that doesn't work, then it's a bug in patch-package, so please submit a bug
  report. Thanks!
