wrong Newtonsoft.json when publish

[atajadod]

It seems like there is something wrong with Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer library. I made an API that uses this library. it works perfect in dev.
But when I publish in production (Release, Self-Contained, win-x64) , I am getting error indicating Newtonsoft.json version 10.0 not found (and further complaining about not able to get config from my IdentityServer).
My debug folder has version 10.0.1, but my publish folder has version 9.0.1 !
The error goes away when I manually replace the NewtonSoft.json with the one in my debug folder.
I am using
.NetCore 3.1.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer 3.1.7
