react-beautiful-dnd: Cannot find drag handle element inside of Draggable

Question

I have a component that receives two sets of data and is a react-beautiful-dnd DragDropContext as below

 render() {
    let index = -1;
    const dataSetOne = this.props.store!.getdata(1);
    const dataSetTwo = this.props.store!.getData(2);
    const allData = this.props.anotherStore!.getAllData();

    return (
        <DragDropContext onDragEnd={this.onDragEnd}>
          <Droppable droppableId="SIDE_MENU" direction="vertical" type="sections">
            {(provided, snapshot) => (
              <div
                {...provided.droppableProps}
                ref={provided.innerRef}
                onScroll={(e) => e.currentTarget.scrollTop}
              >
                {dataSetOne!.map((a, i) => {
                  index = i;
                  const currentData:any= allData.filter(/*logic*/)
                  return (
                    <MyDraggableComp
                      key={a.id!}
                      aes={a}
                      index={index}
                      data={currentData}
                    />
                  );
                })}
               {dataSetTwo.length > 0 ? (
                <MyDraggableComp
                  key="SOMEKEY"
                  aes={null}
                  index={index + 1}
                  data={dataSetTwo}
                />
                ) : null}
                {provided.placeholder}
              </div>
            )}
          </Droppable>
        </DragDropContext>
    );
  }

up to now, this code is working perfectly and The MyDraggableComp is implemented correctly regarding the dnd implementation guideline and contains the {...sectionProvided.dragHandleProps}

now have changed backend and dataSetTwo is never null or empty so wanted to remove the condition and always render it.

but moving the dataSetTwo>0 condition and just have

            <MyDraggableComp
              key="SOMEKEY"
              aes={null}
              index={index + 1}
              data={dataSetTwo}
            />

causes this error that I do not even understand the relation to the case and what to search for? can someone explain to me what is happening and how to fix it?

Error: Invariant failed: 
      Cannot find drag handle element inside of Draggable.
      Please be sure to apply the {...provided.dragHandleProps} to your Draggable

This is specific to react-beautiful-dnd and your version of styled-components - but did you see this warning in your console?:

The "innerRef" API has been removed in styled-components v4 in favor of React 16 ref forwarding, use "ref" instead like a typical component. "innerRef" was detected on component "styled.div".

I changed the api in my Draggable/Droppable to use ref over innerRef and it worked...
