how to pass custom args to pm2

these are my scripts:

 "scripts": {

    "start": "node -r dotenv/config index.js dotenv_config_path=../../prod.env"

this is my pm2 config:

      args: ["dotenv_config_path=../../dev.env"],
      env: {
        NODE_ENV: "development",
      },
    },

the problem is that my dev.env file doesn't load.

and this is my folder structure:
