"Error: Cannot find module" in monorepo setup when dist folder has subfolders

[bindermuehle]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

when I try to build nest in my monorepo setup with the nestjs compilerOptions plugin loaded I get following error
Error: Cannot find module '../../../packages/math-helpers/dist/index'

The problem occurs when an type definition from a packaged internal module is used and there is more than one directory with *.ts in the nestjs app.

as a result the transpiled controller is placed in ./dist/src/ but the import assumes the file to be in the ./dist directory directly.
for example:
openapi.ApiResponse({ status: 200, type: require("../../../packages/math-helpers/dist/index").Me }),

Minimum reproduction code

https://github.com/bindermuehle/monorepo-issue

Steps to reproduce

1. npm i
2. npm run start:dev -w nest
3. see error

Expected behavior

the transpiler plugin should set the correct import path and the nest app should start without any error
