problems when using pdfjs-dist viewer

Question

I'tm trying to implement a pdf viewer using pdfjs-dist and react with bootstrap. It's very simple, but every time I try to run the app and upload a pdf, I get the error "caught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'current')", and I can't really find the error in the code. My version of worker-url is 1.1.0 and my version of pdfs-dist is 2.16.105. I have been following a youtube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eMFU3oV7cQ) but my problem doesn't seem to appear there and I cant find why I get the error. The code I have is the following

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js';
import 'pdfjs-dist/web/pdf_viewer.css';
import 'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min';
import './App.css';


import {Viewer, Worker} from '@react-pdf-viewer/core'
import { defaultLayoutPlugin } from '@react-pdf-viewer/default-layout'
import '@react-pdf-viewer/core/lib/styles/index.css'
import '@react-pdf-viewer/default-layout/lib/styles/index.css'


function App() {
  const defaultLayoutPluginInstance = defaultLayoutPlugin(
);
  const [pdfFile, setPDFFile] = useState(null)
  const [viewPDF, setViewPDF] = useState(null)
  
  const fileType = ['application/pdf']
  const handleChange = (e) => {
    let selectedFile = e.target.files[0]
    if(selectedFile) {
      if(selectedFile && fileType.includes(selectedFile.type)) {
        let reader = new FileReader()
        reader.readAsDataURL(selectedFile)
        reader.onload = (e) => {
          setPDFFile(e.target.result)
        }
      }
      else {
        setPDFFile(null)
      }
    }
    else {
      console.log("please select")
    }


  }

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    if(pdfFile !== null) {
      setViewPDF(pdfFile)
    }
    else {
      setViewPDF(null)
    }
  }

Thank you for your time to anyone who tries to help me.

I solved it by changing the version of @react-pdf-viewer/core": "^3.12.0 and @react-pdf-viewer/default-layout": "^3.12.0 to the same version, since one of them was using 3.7.0. Thank you for your time!
