Could be an issue in Juice Shop and not in Kali:

https://github.com/juice-shop/juice-shop/issues/1750

Thanks though it runs on my wsl install on the same machine though the bare metal one is the issue. This is an X86 machine. I was thinking it may be something in the recent updates of the clean install vs the older existing though updated install. I will post the issue on there Git as well. I am just starting to learn nodejs so I do not know enough to troubleshoot this one.

Thank you

We use the compiled upstream tarball to create the package in Kali.
Upstream compiled it with libnode108 but we have libnode109 in Kali. That's why the service fails to start.

I don't see any workaround to fix this quickly... I'm working on this issue.

I have uploaded a fixed version 0.6.9-0kali1. Please test it and let us know if everything is OK.
