Sidenav Error - TypeError: child.querySelector is not a func

Expected behavior Iterating to creating sidenav shouldnt produce an error when clicking on an item.

Actual behavior Clicking on the sidenav items produces an error if they are created with ngFor.

If I do not use ngFor I get no error, but as soon as I try to iterate over a list of objects to generate my sidenav, this is what I get.
