Csproj Content Include Behaviour

So i have a setup that requires me to build my C# project after a nodejs project has been built, i managed to get that done using

<Target Name="NodeJS Compile" BeforeTargets="BeforeCompile">
    <Exec Command="npm install" WorkingDirectory="Http\Frontend"/>
    <Exec Command="npm run build" WorkingDirectory="Http\Frontend"/>
</Target>

<Target Name="NodeJS Compile" BeforeTargets="BeforeCompile">
    <Exec Command="npm install" WorkingDirectory="Http\Frontend"/>
    <Exec Command="npm run build" WorkingDirectory="Http\Frontend"/>
</Target>

The resulting files from svelte are placed inside a "build" directory and need to be shipped with the C# project finally, but

<Content Include="Http\Frontend\build\**">

<Content Include="Http\Frontend\build\**">

does take its file-list before the compile occured so it tries to copy older files

Going with a

<Target Name="BeforeBuild" AfterTargets="Build">
    <ItemGroup>
        <Content Include="Http\Frontend\build\**">
            <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        </Content>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

<Target Name="BeforeBuild" AfterTargets="Build">
    <ItemGroup>
        <Content Include="Http\Frontend\build\**">
            <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
        </Content>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

just copies nothing at all ...

Any idea how i can fix this?
