React native package-lock.json duplicate dependencies/packages

Whenever I run npm i in my project base directory, the package-lock file is doubled in size. This seems to be happening because there is a "packages" part in the package-lock, which contains all project dependencies stated as "node_modules/somePackageName", but after all 10,000 of these lines there is a "dependencies" part which essentially has all of the same things but without the node_modules prefix part. Whenever anyone in my group runs npm i, nothing new is added but when I run it the 10,000 lines with node_modules/... are added.

I have tried deleting node_modules as well as the package lock, and then doing npm i again, but the same result happens. I understand the functionality of package-lock, but I don't know why it is adding everything twice with a different path.

Here is my package.json:
