Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled when including node_modules in babel.config.js

Question

I'm trying to transpile all code in my application from es6 to es5 since I'm having issues with Safari 9 and IE11.

However when I include node_modules in my babel.config.js I get the following error

SyntaxError: /Users/salmanmohamed/Documents/apps/rapioUserApp/App.js: Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled (41:5):

  39 |   //return <Text>Hii</Text>;
  40 |   return loading ? (
> 41 |     <LoadingLayout>
     |     ^
  42 |       <LoadingText>{copy.loading.texts.fonts}</LoadingText>
  43 |       <ActivityIndicator />
  44 |     </LoadingLayout>

Add @babel/preset-react (https://git.io/JfeDR) to the 'presets' section of your Babel config to enable transformation.
If you want to leave it as-is, add @babel/plugin-syntax-jsx (https://git.io/vb4yA) to the 'plugins' section to enable parsing.

I've tried adding the react preset, but I still get the same error, same when trying to add the plugin-syntax-jsx

I'm using the following stacks

Including the plugins in my webpack worked for me

const createExpoWebpackConfigAsync = require("@expo/webpack-config");
const { getExpoBabelLoader } = require("@expo/webpack-config/utils");

const modulesToTranspile = [
  "ansi-regex",
  "ansi-styles",
  "chalk",
  "react-dev-utils",
  "@react-navigation",
  "styled-components",
  "node_modules",
];

module.exports = async function (env, argv) {
  env.babel = { dangerouslyAddModulePathsToTranspile: modulesToTranspile };

  const config = await createExpoWebpackConfigAsync(env, argv);
  // Customize the config before returning it.
  const loader = getExpoBabelLoader(config);
  if (loader) {
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-arrow-functions");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-block-scoping");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-sticky-regex");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-unicode-regex");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-dotall-regex");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-named-capturing-groups-regex");
    loader.include("@babel/plugin-transform-runtime");

    // console.warn(loader)
  }
  return config;
};
