ERROR Error: NG0301: Export of name 'ngx-places' not found! in Google Places Autocomplete

Im trying to use ngx-google-places-autocomplete library to give place auto completion in my input field. I have set it up in my angular project following steps as below.

1. Running npm install ngx-google-places-autocomplete
2. Adding script with api key to index.html file

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=<KEY>&libraries=places&language=en"></script>

3. Adding GooglePlaceModule to app.module.ts file

4. Adding directive to the input field which is inside a modal

   <ng-template #interpretersModal let-modal>
     <div class="modal-header">
     <h4 class="modal-title" id="modal-basic-title">Add Interpreter</h4>
       <button type="button" class="close" aria-label="Close" (click)="modal.dismiss('Cross click')">
       <span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
       </button>
     </div>
     <form #interpreterForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onInterpreterSubmit(interpreterForm.value)">
     <div class="modal-body">
        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="row">
               <input ngx-google-places-autocomplete [options]='options' #placesRef="ngx-places" (onAddressChange)="handleAddressChange($event)"/>
            </div>
         </div>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button class="btn btn-secondary" [disabled]="!interpreterForm.valid" data-dismiss="modal">Submit</button>
        </div>
      </form>
    </ng-template>
   

5. Adding below to the component

   @ViewChild("placesRef") placesRef : GooglePlaceDirective;
   
   constructor(private modalService: NgbModal) {}
   
   triggerAddInterpretersModal(content: any) {
    this.modalService.open(content, {ariaLabelledBy: 'modal-basic-title'})
   }
   
   public handleAddressChange(address: Address) {
    console.log(address);
   }
   

And getting this error when the page is loaded

ERROR Error: NG0301: Export of name 'ngx-places' not found!

Anything i could be missing here??
