Path with Overflow IssueLightning Component [Cannot create property 'scrollLeft' on string ']

I'm trying to use the Lighting Path with Coach Class and get the scrollable arrows to work.  However, I can't set scrollable attribute on the inner div and I get this error:
 
Action failed: c:opportunityApprovalHistoryLightning$controller$popright [Cannot create property 'scrollLeft' on string '

How can I make the Chevon left right buttons scroll the div view appropriately? Here is the link to the LDS item I using for further context. I just want to be able to scroll left and right using the buttons.

Hi,
inner.scrollLeft -= 5; will not work.
You have to find a way to type cast it to DOM. Check the below for example

Cool, I'll give this a shot. If it works I'll update with 'best answer'.

Yea it’s not working. When I try to convert it I get SecureElement: [object HTMLDivElement]{key:{“namespace”:”c”}}
