I don't know if is to late to help, can you check your tsconfig file if you set the right specification on target & module.

"target":  "ES VERSION THAT YOU ARE CURRENT USING"  /* Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' (default), 'ES5', 'ES2015', 'ES2016', 'ES2017', 'ES2018', 'ES2019', 'ES2020', or 'ESNEXT'. */

"module":  "commonjs" /* Specify module code generation: 'none', 'commonjs', 'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es2015', 'es2020', or 'ESNext'. */
