Passing provider to child module does not work

Terraform
1

Hello i get the following error and i am lost on how to solve it.
I appreciate any pointers, help, anything. It frustrates me really bad.

Warning: Provider helm is undefined
│ 
│   on helm_ops.tf line 5, in module "common_ops":
│    5:         helm = helm.ops
│ 
│ Module module.common_ops does not declare a provider named helm.
│ If you wish to specify a provider configuration for the module, add an
│ entry for helm in the required_providers block within the module.

As pointed out by jbardin (James Bardin) · GitHub under helm_common main.yml should be main.tf
