I’m trying to customize the Strapi left menu by using patch-package, but I can’t find how to apply the changes.

I’m using Strapi 4.24.2

First of all, I had the patch-package module and a script “postinstall: patch-package” in the package.json

Then I made some changes inside the “index-hDD1JNph.js” in the node_modules

After that I ran the command :

npx patch-package @strapi/admin

Finally, I ran

docker-compose build

docker-compose up

but I see no changes in the Strapi admin panel
