Ok I found a much better solution for this:
Add this block to your package.json:

{
  "overrides": {
    "react": "19.1.1",
    "react-dom": "19.1.1",
    "react-query": {
      "react": "19.1.1",
      "react-dom": "19.1.1"
    }
  }
}

Then reinstall dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

If not you can always try:
npx shadcn@latest add form --legacy-peer-deps

Its usually caused by package depending on older versions
