Creating deeply nested Prisma entries

I am trying to create a deeply nested object in Prsima using explicit many to many and it sort of works? The problem is, it seems Prisma has 0 proper error handling at anything more than 1 level deep. For example if I have 
prisma.portfolio.create({
        data: {
          locations: {
            create: input.locations?.map((location) => ({
              Location: { 
                connectOrCreate: { 
                  where: { name: location?.name }
                  create: {
                    name: location?.name
                    contacts: {
                      connectOrCreate:  location.contacts?.map((contact) => {
                        where: {
                          name: contact.name
                        }
                        create: {
                          name: "Some invalid value"
                        }
                      }
                    }
                  } 
                } 
              },
            })),
          },
      });
Then, I will get an error on trying to post this but the error is something extremely inaccurate like Location is not a valid key on locations did you mean "Name"? However when I then remove the invalid key from the contacts, the code works just fine. So the problem is obviously the contact field but I get no information about what field is actually incorrect or why. Is there a way to deal with this? Right now my first thought is to possibly break out each nested create into its own separate call but I don't feel like that is right.
