Unable to convert .cert file to type X509Certificates.X509Certificate2

[uhuru-be]

Hello,
I'm trying to get an MSAL Token from a third party API via Powershell on linux, using the code below. I uploaded my .crt certificate to /etc/ssl/certs/

CODE :

Import-Module MSAL.PS
Import-Module JWTDetails

$clientID = '...'
$tenantID = '...'
$ClientCertificateLocation = '/etc/ssl/certs/<>'
$ClientCertificate = Get-Item $ClientCertificateLocation
$tokenScope = '...'

$myAccessToken = Get-MsalToken -ClientId $clientID -TenantId $tenantID -ClientCertificate $ClientCertificate -Scope $tokenScope

ERROR
However i get the error below... altough i think there is nothing wrong with my certificate :

Get-MsalToken: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'ClientCertificate'. Cannot convert the "/etc/ssl/certs/<>" value of type "System.IO.FileInfo" to type "System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2"
