How to properly use jquery-mask-plugin in typescript?

I have an ASP.NET Core MVC project that needs to have masks on some inputs.

I installed the jquery-mask-plugin using the instructions for Typescript, so just used this in the console:

npm install --save-dev @types/jquery-mask-plugin

When I try to use the code

$("#inputID").mask('AAAAAAAAAA');

in the app, I get this error in devtools when running the project:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).mask is not a function

Am I using this wrong because it is typescript? My version is 4.1.3
