Sorry, but that looks like a `react-three-fiber` issue. Probably better to file an issue at the respective repository:

> **[react-spring/react-three-fiber](https://github.com/react-spring/react-three-fiber/issues)**
>
> ☘️ React renderer for Threejs (web and react-native) - react-spring/react-three-fiber
