How to override the version from a dependency of a project's dependency from npm

I'm currently using react-pdf as a dependency, react-pdf uses fontkit as a dependency, and fontkit uses the npm restructure library. restructure, on the other hand, broke fontkit, therefore I would like to replace the new restructure version with the old one, so I tried using Deno.json's imports map, and scopes as well.

"imports": {
  "restructure": "npm:restructure@3.0.0"
}

"imports": {
  "restructure": "npm:restructure@3.0.0"
}

"scopes": {
  "fontkit@2.0.2": {
    "restructure": "npm:restructure@3.0.0"
  }
}

"scopes": {
  "fontkit@2.0.2": {
    "restructure": "npm:restructure@3.0.0"
  }
}

None of them replaced the version. Given that, there's a way to do so?

I think your first attempt, without scopes, should work Delete your node_modules folder and deno.lock file and try to run your project again with that import

there's no node_modules folder, and I deleted deno.lock file already

try adding the following to your deno.json so that it creates a node_modules folder: "vendor": true

Hello @Leokuma , first, thanks for the help, unfortunately, I had no success, it has creatednode_modules, and vendor folders, but the problem persists, I also deleted deno.lock again. Follow an image of the recently generated deno.lock showing restructure on its latest version.
