External Schematic @nrwl/angular application "Could not find an NgModule"

[zjkipping]

Current Behavior

When running externalSchematic('@nrwl/angular', 'app', { name: 'test' }) after migrating to nx 13.8.x I get an error stating "Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import option to skip importing in NgModule.".

Running a manual yarn nx generate application test works just fine in the command line...

Expected Behavior

Run the above command and an angular application is created successfully in the /apps directory. This worked fine in our 12.7.x nx versions.

Steps to Reproduce

Create custom generator adding externalSchematic('@nrwl/angular', 'app', { name: 'test' }), to the rules chain.
