in my own case i saw the error while trying to create tabs and my solution was simply to add 'nav' to the togglers then leave everything as it is

<div class='nav yourCustomStyles yourOtherStyles'>

<div> <button data-bs-target='#targetElemId' data-bs-toggle='tab'>test</button>

<div/>

//contents
<div id='targetElemId' class='tab-panel'>content<div/>
