Issues with better-auth component

Hi All, I am having some issues where I get these types of errors in a bunch of places on operations with the authClient with better-auth using the Component for Convex. It happens on the listOrganizations and the createOrganization specifically, so mabye its some issue with how i set up the organizations plugin? [Error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fields') at isUniqueField (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/adapterUtils.ts:67:9) at <anonymous> (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/adapterUtils.ts:487:19) at find [as find] (<anonymous>) at paginate (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/adapterUtils.ts:487:19) at handler (../../node_modules/@convex-dev/better-auth/src/client/index.ts:198:5)

Out of the box only the supported plugins work. To use plugins not on that list, use Local Install.
