Error on compilation: Incompatible argument type: Required type: \Aheadworks\Blog\Api\CategoryManagementInterface. Actual type: array; File:

Question

I'm new to Magento and working on upgrading an existing project to 2.4.3. When running php -dmemory_limit=5G bin/magento setup:di:compile I'm encountering an error:

Incompatible argument type: Required type: \Aheadworks\Blog\Api\CategoryManagementInterface. Actual type: array; File: 

No line number is provided. I've seen in other posts that this can be related to types not being declared in the comments, but I believe all my types are declared. What could be going wrong?
