As I try to integrate the BrowserAnimationModule into my Angular 5 project, a rather foolish error keeps popping up.

Error: (SystemJS) Unexpected token <
    SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
        at eval (<anonymous>)
        at Object.eval (http://localhost:56700/app/app.module.js:15:20)
        at eval (http://localhost:56700/app/app.module.js:71:4)
        at eval (http://localhost:56700/app/app.module.js:72:3)
    Evaluating http://localhost:56700/node_modules/@angular/platform-browser/animations.js

The project functions smoothly without any issues if I exclude BroswerAnimationsModule from the imports in my NgModule.

It appears that upon loading the module, it searches for a file in an incorrect location leading to a non-existent one. Following the instructions on The official Angular site, it's observed that it fetches from a level below in the @angular/platform-browser/animations/animations. Assuming there might be an issue with my system.config but for the life of me, I just can't seem to figure it out... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
