How do I select which camera lens to use when using back-camera in ngx-scanner?

I am using zxing-js/ngx-scanner for scanning in my Angular application. In Samsung phones, the scanner scans using the wide angel lens which creates an issue in scanning.

I need to be able to allow users to choose between different lenses available or force the scanner component to use the normal lens in order to scan successfully.

So far I have tried this stackoverflow answer and this github answer. I was trying to see if I can atleast get to choose the lens via JS. So far I haven't found any working solution.

Can someone please help with the same?
