LLamaindex package: External packages in convex.json doesn't work

I want to use the llamaindex package to parse documents with their parser model. However, this model also includes a VectorStoreIndex that is used in conjuction with openAI to create embeddings and store it in the llamacloud database. As I don't have access to openAI (based in Hong Kong) and I want to keep using convex for vector search, I don't use this functionality. But I believe there are the reason for the error below. I put "use node" at the top of the file and inserted the packages that errored my build to the node.externalPackages convex.json file. But I still get the same errors. Any clue on what that could be? The pg packages must be used for their vector database which I don't use.

{
  "node": {
    "externalPackages": [
      "llamaindex",
      "pg",
      "pgvector/pg",
      "@xenova/transformers"
    ]
  }
}

{
  "node": {
    "externalPackages": [
      "llamaindex",
      "pg",
      "pgvector/pg",
      "@xenova/transformers"
    ]
  }
}

Looks like it related to the fact that I am using a monorepo and externalPackages is not recognised by convex because the node_module where the package lives is outside of the convex project I am working on. Saw that in another post when looking at image transformation in Convex with sharp. See link
