mongoose insertOne node.js failing on insert

I have this model, defining my mongoose schema and such:

const servicesSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    cnum: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        unique: true,
        trim: true
    },
    location: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        trim: true
    },
    name: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        trim: true
    }
}, {
    timestamps: true
})

//force collection name
servicesSchema.set('collection', 'services');

servicesSchema.methods.toJSON = function () {
    const servicesObject = this.toObject()

    return servicesObject
}

const Services = mongoose.model('Services', servicesSchema)

module.exports = Services

then, in my route, I have this:

const ServicesModel = require('../model/services')
app.post('/updateServices', (req, res) => {
    //defining variables passed through from front-end
    var siteLocation = req.body.siteLocation;
    var Services = req.body.Services;
    var date = req.body.date;
    var cnum = req.body.cnum;
    console.log(siteLocation, Services, date, cnum)

  
        //defining parameters to insert into document
        const doc = {
            siteLocation: siteLocation,
            Services: Services,
            date: date,
            cnum: cnum
        };

        console.log(doc)
        //actually inserting document into collection.
        ServicesModel.insertOne(doc)

        //redirecting to set page or function
        res.status(200).send("success")
})

but, when I try to insert (the insertone), it tells me in my console that TypeError: ServicesModel.insertOne is not a function.

I am wondering what the problem is. keep in mind, I have never used mongoose before and never set it up like this, so apologies in advance. thanks for the help

Figured it out.

Mongoose doesn't support insertOne

you must use create
