error NG6002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of AppModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class

Question

First time using firestore and I'm getting this error. It seems to be a problem with Ivy, from my research. I don't have a lot of experience modifying tsconfig.app.json, which is the direction I've been pointed to, following other answers.

The only thing I was able to modify from the original project was to use Angular Fire 6 instead of 5, which I had done initially to follow a tutorial.

Here's package.json:

Your module is not yet loaded by the Angular Server in node ng serve, so restart your server so the server loads the module that you just added in @NgModule app.module.ts
