Angular Universal trying to open app.component.html

I've recently upgraded my Angular and I've had some problems with server-side rendering. I've had some issues which I've managed to fix but I've gotten stuck on the following error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'app.component.html'

I wasn't able to find somebody else facing the exact same issue, most of the problems similar to this one I came across were caused by a badly written path. I believe that there might be a problem with my configuration as I don't see app.component.hmtl appear in my compiled dist/app-admin-browsr folder, nor do I see it in the universal example project that I have downloaded.

Has anyone face this issue before?
