createForwarder is not a function

[diadal]

keep getting this TypeError: connector.connect(...).createForwarder is not a function

import { Contract, ethers } from 'ethers';

 provider.value = markRaw(
    new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(providerUrl.value)
  );

  transferContract.value = markRaw(
    new ethers.Contract(ForwarderContractAddress.value, ForwarderFactory.abi)
  );
  // console.log('connector: ', connector);

  const connector = markRaw(transferContract.value);
  await connector
    .connect(provider.value)
    .createForwarder(parentAddress.value, salt.value, true, true)
    .then((result: ethers.utils.BytesLike[]) => {
      console.log('result: ', result);
      // createForwarder();
    });
