stripe plugin doesnt seem to work

Hey, i've tried integrating the stripe plugin and i just keep getting this type error: There is a issue on github about this but it's just saying that this happens because of a version mismatch. 
Type '{ id: "stripe"; endpoints: { stripeWebhook: { <AsResponse extends boolean = false, ReturnHeaders extends boolean = false>(inputCtx_0?: ({ body?: undefined; } & { method?: "POST" | undefined; } & { query?: Record<string, any> | undefined; } & ... 4 more ... & { ...; }) | undefined): Promise<...>; options: { ...; } & ...' is not assignable to type 'BetterAuthPlugin'.
  Types of property 'init' are incompatible.

What i've tried doing: - Downgrading both packages, up to 1.2.9 with no success - rm -rf node_modules My setup is hono with node.js and pnpm adding @ts-ignore to that seems to fix the issue, app proceeds to work and build normally, but of course this shouldnt be a solution The error also leads to other parts of the auth not working at all. For example, inferring types doesnt work when @ts-ignore is present (or this error)
