React Native Firebase Auth keeps on failing I have followed all the necessary steps

Question

So I have downloaded react-native-firebase using npm i @react-native-firebase/auth and it is sucessfully registered in my package.json file. I have added the google-services plugin to my android directory as directed by the website. Directory

Than after that I have added this line in /android/build.gradle

 classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4'

Than after that I have added the plugin to in /android/app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Still I am getting error
