<script> not working in angular 5 components (Plaid Link with Angular 2+)

I'm trying to use Plaid Link inside of an Angular Web App. It seems that the script provided by plaid only works inside the <body> of the index.html file. When I try to use it in a component the script simply does not run.

I'm following along with the documentation at https://plaid.com/docs/quickstart/#step-2-simple-integration

They have some jquery code that works fine if I make just a basic html file with it inside but doesn't work inside of an angular component/

Here is an example of code that wont work in angular?

`<form id='plaid-link-form'></form>
<script
src="https://cdn.plaid.com/link/v2/stable/link-initialize.js"
data-client-name="My App"
data-form-id="plaid-link-form"
data-key="[PUBLIC KEY]"
data-product="auth"
data-env="sandbox">
</script>`

EDIT: I've made a mistake. I use Angular 5, not 2.

Solution

I found an Ionic 2 (Angular2+) use of the plaid link in this repository. https://github.com/pbernasconi/plaid-link-ionic-2-example/tree/master/src I added the script to the index and then run it in a controller. I don't exactly understand how the declarations.d.ts file comes into play but I have a file with the same code in it now.
