Error when trying to import package installed using lambda layer on nodejs14 ES module enabled lambda function

Question

I have created a lambda function on the `nodejs14` runtime that has the ES module enabled. I have installed a custom package using the lambda layer following the folder structure specified on documentation.
```
nodejs/node_modules/my-package-name/index.js
```
or 
```
nodejs/node14/node_modules/my-package-name/index.js
```

When I try to import this package
```
import my-package-name from "my-package-name"
```

I get an error that says can't find the module. The weird part is it works perfectly fine when CommonJS is enabled (ES module disabled).

Not sure if you ever got an answer on this but we just went through the same issue with Node.js 16. I updated [my original question](https://repost.aws/questions/QUkqtaCZBNTguN6qr5Oj2hpg/node-js-module-not-found-using-es-import-with-lambda-layers) with support's response. Short answer, not possible. Longer answer, you can use a wrapper to get the module paths.
