(first time user) error when trying to use the plugin

[SuperMo0]

Hello, I'm trying to learn this plugin and explore it, however after installing the plugin and adding it to the plugins array when I try to use it I get an error of can't find module or its corresponding type declarations

this is my vite config

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import { imagetools } from 'vite-imagetools'

// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), imagetools()],
})

and my app.tsx:

import './App.css'
import flam from './assets/flam.jpg?w=400;800;1200&format=webp&srcset'
//Cannot find module './assets/flam.jpg?w=400;800;1200&format=webp&srcset' or its corresponding type declarations.
function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Hello</h1>
      <img src={flam} alt="" />
    </>
  )
}

export default App
