home.shellAliases unable to set aliases using home-manager

I have set up home-manager like this inside my nix-darwin.
Every thing is working perfectly except for the shellAliases part.

  # Home Manager configurations
  imports = [ <home-manager/nix-darwin> ];

  users.users.<user> = {
    name = "<user>";
    home = "/Users/<user>";
  };

  home-manager.users.<user> = { pkgs, ... }: {
    home = {
      shellAliases = {
          asl = "aws sso login";
      };
      packages = with pkgs; [
        btop
        direnv
        gh
        neovim
        nixfmt
        tree
        zoxide
        bat
        lazygit
        delta
        ripgrep
        cargo
        speedtest-cli
      ];
      stateVersion = "22.05";
    };
  };

The packages are working, but the alias is not.
What could be the issue?

You probably should specify aliases in the section of the exact shell you use. In my case with zsh:

 # ....

 programs.zsh = {
        enable = true;
        enableCompletion = true;
        enableAutosuggestions = true;
        autocd = true;
        syntaxHighlighting.enable = true;
        
        plugins = [
            {
                name = "powerlevel10k";
                src = pkgs.zsh-powerlevel10k;
                file = "share/zsh-powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme";
            }
            {
                name = "powerlevel10k-config";
                src = ./../configs/p10k;
                file = "p10k.zsh";
            }
        ];

        shellAliases = {
            ll = "eza -l";
            la = "eza -la";
        };
 };

# ...
