drag and drop - Can't bind to 'cdkDragFreeDragPosition' since it isn't a known property of 'div'

Question

I have posted my code below. I am using angular DragDropModule and for some reason [cdkDragFreeDragPosition] is not working. it gives me the error shown below. I added DragDropModule to my ngModule as shown below. When I remove [cdkDragFreeDragPosition] tag, the drag drop works fine but once added it gives me the error shown below. [cdkDragStartDelay]="1000" also gives the same error. I don't know why this issue is occurring. tried to find a solution online but couldn't. Any help would be appreciated.

<div class="example-boundary">
<div class="example-box"
     cdkDragBoundary=".example-boundary"
     cdkDrag
     *ngFor="let table of tables"
     id="{{table._id}}"
     (cdkDragEnded)="dragEnd($event)"
     [cdkDragDisabled]="false"
     [cdkDragFreeDragPosition]="getTablePosition(table)"
     (cdkDragMoved)="dragMoved($event, table)">{{table.username}}
</div>

import { ServerOrderComponent } from './server-order/server-order.component';
import {DragDropModule} from '@angular/cdk/drag-drop';

  imports: [
    MDBBootstrapModule.forRoot(),

So after looking around a bit, I decided to upgrade to angular material 8 as i was using angular 7 which did not have support for that. After upgrading, it works fine.
