Getting ts errors in a js file - node.js

Question

I have a project with the following ts config. However when I run the nodejs server and use zeromq, I get Typescript errors in node_modules\zeromq\lib\index.js where export.Context (line 755) doesn't exists and zmqVersion() (line 19) is not a function. I do have ts set to ignore nodejs modules.
When I look at the ts files npx tsc --listFiles zeromq and other node_mods are not listed. So I am not sure why I am getting ts errors in zeromq. It's the only module that I am having issues with.
I do have #types/zeromq installed, but I still see these errors in the js file.
Reproducing:
tsconfig file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "./distTemp/",
"sourceMap": true,
"noImplicitAny": false,
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es6",
"jsx": "react",
"allowJs": true,
"moduleResolution": "node",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
"checkJs": false, // <-I added this to try
"allowJs": true, // <-I added this to try
"skipLibCheck": true, // <-I added this to try
"skipDefaultLibCheck": true, // <-I added this to try
"types": ["zeromq"] // <-I added this to try
},
"ts-node": {
"esm": true
},
"lib": ["esnext"],
"paths": [
"global.d.ts"
],
"include": ["./src", "./server.ts"],
"exclude": ["./node_modules", "./build", "./dist", "./src/**/*.js", "./src/**/*.jsx"]
}
"I added this to try" are the lines I added to try and fix this issue. I run the code with
node -r ts-node/register server.ts --development
This has been really frustrating. I like zeromq and have used it before in different languages - I am really annoyed at the ts functionality here. After all this is a JS file.
Also this wasn't always popping up. I did have this running at one point. But to my knowledge no packages were updated, so I am not sure what change caused this.
