Build Error: Non-Zero Exit | SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

Getting an error that I cannot pin down the proper solution for. The error given is

$ node ace build [2022-03-08 19:10:23] /workspace/node_modules/@poppinss/utils/build/src/Helpers/string.js:241 [2022-03-08 19:10:23] return ${values[0]}${options?.pairSeparator || ' and '}${values[1]}; [2022-03-08 19:10:23] ^ [2022-03-08 19:10:23] [2022-03-08 19:10:23] SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘.’

I believe that this is due to an improper Node version from what I am able to tell, but after updating node, and updating yarn, I am still getting this same error on the build stage. Any idea’s on steps I can take to further troubleshoot / known solutions to this problem? I am a current Computer Science student, so please excuse my obvious ignorance in this matter as this is my first time using DigitalOcean.
