Could you share your application tree? I am having a hard time understanding your setup. Better yet a repository, and I can help you right away.

Maybe try using Route groups instead.

.
├── app
│   ├── (backend)
│   │   └── api
│   │       └── route.ts
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   ├── globals.css
│   ├── layout.tsx
│   └── page.tsx

next.js/packages/next/src/lib/find-pages-dir.ts

Lines 4 to 8 in 8367fae

	export function findDir(dir: string, name: 'pages' | 'app'): string | null {
	// prioritize ./${name} over ./src/${name}
	let curDir = path.join(dir, name)
	if (fs.existsSync(curDir)) return curDir

/app or /pages are prioritized over src/app or src/pages
