Downgraded nextjs node version from 20 > 18 to run in vercel. when building project deployment in vercel, /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found error

i can run locally node v18 my nextjs project and build. when i deploy to vercel, i get the following output:

npm ERR! code 1
12:30:09.838 | npm ERR! path /vercel/path0/node_modules/bufferutil

i have downgraded from node20 to node18 for the LTS option as the most current offering that AWS/vercel supports. however i am stuck now with this error and im not sure how to fix

any help would be appreciated?

thanks
