Getting version conflicts when trying to add dependencies in my django-react project

Actually i am trying to add some more dependencies like the react-pdf etc. in my project which is a django project and i am trying to use react elements too along with it. I am using the webpack to present my react code to my django using npm build and start webpack commands, which is giving me a build file which is accepted my django project.

So far I know that the react elements (packages and dependencies ) are dependent on a package.json file which gives a list of the files that are required or installed in the system according to requirements . If i use the " npm install" than it searches for the package.json file and than the package-lock.json file to install the required mentioned packages and dependencies.

Now, I have even removed the node_modules file (which contains all the installed dependencies) and the package-lock.json file too, and just have the package.json file , if i try to install the dependencies now , than it giving me a no. of version conflicts among the packages/library names listed in package.json file .

The main issue is the project is already running without any errors in deployment and now when i try to add any other dependency than it is showing version conflict the already running project.

I tried removing the package-lock.json file and the node_modules folder too, for a fresh installation of packages/dependencies but it still got errors. I've tried editing the package.json files to match the version requirements but still it got issues.

Here is my package.json file : { "name": "u4rad-report", "version": "1.0.0", "private": true, "homepage": "http://34.93.156.210/report", "main": "index.js", "dependencies": { "@babel/core": "^7.16.0",

Even when i try to do fix the version in the package.json file than it gives a conflict in the version of some other requirement and then some else and so on . But i don't know how it is perfectly working in a currently deployed project. Thanks in advance if any person is able to help me in this case , and if someone understood my actual issue.
