Describe the bug

While running the strapi cli using yarn (yarn strapi generate) the files generated end up being stored under node_modules/strapi/@generators/dist

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a new strapi project using the cli yarn create strapi
2. Try to generate a new API endpoint using the CLI yarn strapi generate following all the necessary steps
3. It will succeed but the files won't be in src/api folder
4. Try to generate the API endpoint again using the same name
5. It will fail and print the location of the files previously generated

Expected behavior

The files should be generated at the folder src

Opening this because #22077 was closed before resolving

npm run strapi generate also doing that, it paklces the folder inside:
node_modules/@strapi/generators/dist/api/
