Adding script tag to Gatsby using helmet throws syntax errors

I'm trying to add watson chatbot to my website and the required script tag is the following:

<script>
        window.watsonAssistantChatOptions = {
            integrationID: "", // The ID of this integration.
            region: "eu-gb", // The region your integration is hosted in.
            serviceInstanceID: "", // The ID of your service instance.
            onLoad: function(instance) { instance.render(); }
            };
        setTimeout(function(){
            const t=document.createElement('script');
            t.src="https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.appdomain.cloud/loadWatsonAssistantChat.js";
            document.head.appendChild(t);
        });
    </script>

how it looks in my editor

Here is my code:

import React from "react"
import PropTypes from "prop-types"
import Helmet from "react-helmet"

function Watson() {
  return (
    <Helmet>

        <script>
        window.watsonAssistantChatOptions = {
            integrationID: "e9106019-f76a-46ea-bd38-1f9a364d8d6e", // The ID of this integration.
            region: "eu-gb", // The region your integration is hosted in.
            serviceInstanceID: "c688c7e0-4a4f-45ab-9131-6ae96ec602a3", // The ID of your service instance.
            onLoad: function(instance) { instance.render(); }
            };
        setTimeout(function(){
            const t=document.createElement('script');
            t.src="https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.appdomain.cloud/loadWatsonAssistantChat.js";
            document.head.appendChild(t);
        });
        </script>
    </Helmet>
  )
}

export default Watson

I'm getting compile errors. I've even tried wrapping the code inside script with {} but still no luck:

<Helmet>

        <script>
{
        window.watsonAssistantChatOptions = {
            integrationID: "e9106019-f76a-46ea-bd38-1f9a364d8d6e", // The ID of this integration.
            region: "eu-gb", // The region your integration is hosted in.
            serviceInstanceID: "c688c7e0-4a4f-45ab-9131-6ae96ec602a3", // The ID of your service instance.
            onLoad: function(instance) { instance.render(); }
            };
        setTimeout(function(){
            const t=document.createElement('script');
            t.src="https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.appdomain.cloud/loadWatsonAssistantChat.js";
            document.head.appendChild(t);
        });
}
        </script>
    </Helmet>

Any thoughts on what i'm missing ?

You need to use backticks (`) inside your component when it is wrapped by curly braces ({}):

<Helmet>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    {` window.watsonAssistantChatOptions = {
            integrationID: "e9106019-f76a-46ea-bd38-1f9a364d8d6e", // The ID of this integration.
            region: "eu-gb", // The region your integration is hosted in.
            serviceInstanceID: "c688c7e0-4a4f-45ab-9131-6ae96ec602a3", // The ID of your service instance.
            onLoad: function(instance) { instance.render(); }
            };
        setTimeout(function(){
            const t=document.createElement('script');
            t.src="https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.appdomain.cloud/loadWatsonAssistantChat.js";
            document.head.appendChild(t);
        });
    `}
  </script>
</Helmet>

With the snippet above your code will be pasted as a raw string but, being inside a <script> tag, it will be interpreted and pasted in your <head> as a common script.

Using a gatsby build with my snippet:
