Here is my db collection in mongoDB. I am using mongoose to update the data inside the comments array

{
        "author": {
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "userName": "John"
        },
        "_id": "63bc20741475b40323d6259f",
        "title": "this is blog",
        "description": "description",
        "blogBanner": "https://github.com//routers/userRouter.js",
        "views": "0",
        "comments": [
            {
                "userId": "63b919840ae5303938fb1c17",
                "comment": "first comment",
                "_id": "_id:63bbdbdb7018eabb752c0e58
            },
            {
                "userId": "63b919840ae5303938fb1c17",
                "comment": "second comment",
                "_id": "63bbdbdb7018eabb752ce55"
            }
        ],
        "reaction": [
            {
                "userEmail": "[email protected]",
                "react": "love"
            }
        ],
        "date": "2023-01-09T14:09:32.810Z",
