Nx tsconfig paths alias resolution is not working as expected

Current Behavior

Hello !

The @nx/vite/plugins/nx-tsconfig-paths.plugin path resolution is not working as expected.

I think the first tsconfig is supposed to be the project tsconfig (https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/packages/vite/plugins/nx-tsconfig-paths.plugin.ts#L117) but in my case, it resolves to the tsconfig under the workspace root foder.
