React Web Broken on Apple M1 - node.js

Question

I've recently updated from Intel to M1 Max and all my react web project sadly broke with the same error:
SyntaxError: /Users/giulioserra/Documents/Siti Web/CTS/ctsapp/node_modules/react-native-image-placeholder-cache/index.js: Support for the experimental syntax 'classProperties' isn't currently enabled (8:9):

9 | isLoaded:false,
10 | path:''
11 | }
Add #babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties (https://git.io/vb4SL) to the 'plugins' section of your Babel config to enable transformation.
I have no babel config file and event installing the package seems to do nothing, here are my specs:
Mac Monterey M1 Max,
Node: v15.14.0
here is my package.info file:
