Go Module Import Issue: "no required module provides package"

I am running into a weird issue while trying to import a local package in my Golang project. I keept getting this error:

could not import PulseGuard/backend/golang/services (no required module provides package "PulseGuard/backend/golang/services")

This is my project Structure

📂 PulseGuard

├── 📂 backend
 │    ├── 📂 databases       
 │    │    ├── db.go          ** Database connection setup **
 │    ├── 📂 golang
 │    │    ├── 📂 config/      ** App configurations **
 │    │    ├── 📂 controllers/ **  Business logic (handlers call these) **
 │    │    ├── 📂 routers/     ** Defines routes & maps them to handlers ** 
 │    │    ├── 📂 services/
 │    │    │    ├── scanner.go    ** Additional service logic (e.g., auth, email) **
 │    │    ├── 📂 models/     ** Database models for GORM **
 │    │    ├── 📂 middleware/ ** Middleware (auth, logging) **
 │    │    ├── go.mod
 │    │    ├── go.sum 
 │    │    ├── main.go        # App entry point

My go.mod file looks like this

module PulseGuard

go 1.24.0

require (
    github.com/fatih/color v1.18.0
    gorm.io/driver/postgres v1.5.11
    gorm.io/gorm v1.25.12
)

require (
    github.com/jackc/pgpassfile v1.0.0 // indirect
    github.com/jackc/pgservicefile v0.0.0-20221227161230-091c0ba34f0a // indirect
    github.com/jackc/pgx/v5 v5.5.5 // indirect
    github.com/jackc/puddle/v2 v2.2.1 // indirect
    github.com/jinzhu/inflection v1.0.0 // indirect
    github.com/jinzhu/now v1.1.5 // indirect
    github.com/mattn/go-colorable v0.1.13 // indirect
    github.com/mattn/go-isatty v0.0.20 // indirect

    golang.org/x/sync v0.1.0 // indirect
    golang.org/x/sys v0.25.0 // indirect
    golang.org/x/text v0.14.0 // indirect
)

scanner.go (inside services folder):

package services

import (
    "fmt"
    "net"
    "time"

    "github.com/fatih/color"
)

main.go (Inside golang folder):

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "PulseGuard/backend/golang/services" // Importing this gives an error
    "github.com/fatih/color"
)

What I Tried:

I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Should I be using a different import path? Appreciate any help!

please try once as attachment "/" symbol to your import path.

    package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "/PulseGuard/backend/golang/services" // Importing this gives an error - add '/' to path
        "github.com/fatih/color"
    )
