Ionic Capacitor Google Maps error (@capacitor/google-maps)

I want to include Google Maps in an ionic capacitor angular project so I followed their documentation to do so. But when I build I get the following error:

Error: node_modules/@capacitor/google-maps/dist/typings/definitions.d.ts:1:23 - error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'google.maps'.
[ng] 1 /// <reference types="google.maps" />


I searched everywhere, checked the documentation, even followed the answers in this stack overflow question none which seemed to help:

UPDATE:
