How to use a newer version of a dep?

While using elixir-ls with helix(editor) I get the following error:

This only happens when I open mix.exs

My system doesn’t have elixir installed, only elixir-ls in the helix config.
The project repo has a flake which has dependencies for elixir_1_14:
pkgs.beam.packages.erlangR25.elixir_1_14

My guess is elixir-ls is build using pkgs.elixir which is 1.13.4
Should I change these from elixir to elixir_1_14?

          inherit pname version src elixir;
          
          
mixFodDeps = fetchMixDeps {
            pname = "mix-deps-${pname}";
            inherit src version elixir;

I guess it might be better to also put elixir-ls inside my project repo instead of on the whole system?
