Can't properly inject my ViewModel error: [Dagger/MissingBinding]

Question

I can't inject my viewModel properly can I please get some help ? I keep getting

ViewModel cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method.

Here is my code

    @Singleton
@Component(modules = [AndroidInjectionModule::class, ActivityBuilderModule::class, FragmentBuilderModule::class, BaseNetworkModule::class, CountriesListApiModule::class])


interface ApplicationComponent : AndroidInjector<ExcitelApplication> {
    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        fun application(application: Application): Builder

        @BindsInstance
        fun bindContext(context: Context): Builder

        fun build(): ApplicationComponent
    }
}

class CountriesListFragment : Fragment(R.layout.countries_fragment) {
    @Inject
    lateinit var viewModelFactory: ExcitelViewModelFactory<CountriesViewModel>
    lateinit var countriesViewModel: CountriesViewModel

    override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
        AndroidSupportInjection.inject(this)
        super.onAttach(context)
    }

    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        countriesViewModel =
            ViewModelProvider(
                this,
                viewModelFactory
            )[CountriesViewModel::class.java]
        countriesViewModel.getCountries()
    }

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

    }

}

class ExcitelApplication : DaggerApplication() {

    @Inject
    lateinit var dispatchingAndroidInjector: DispatchingAndroidInjector<Any>
    override fun applicationInjector(): AndroidInjector<out DaggerApplication> {
        return DaggerApplicationComponent.builder().application(this).bindContext(this).build()
    }
}

class CountryListActivity: BaseActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        AndroidInjection.inject(this);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.countries_activity)
        replaceFragment(CountriesListFragment())
    }

    open fun replaceFragment(fragment: Fragment) {
        val fragmentManager: FragmentManager = supportFragmentManager
        val fragmentTransaction: FragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.container, fragment)
        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(fragment.toString())
        fragmentTransaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN)
        fragmentTransaction.commit()
    }
}

class CountriesViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val countriesUseCase: CountriesUseCaseImpl
) : ViewModel() {

    val countriesLiveData = MutableLiveData<Resource<CountriesResult>>()
    private val compositeDisposable = CompositeDisposable()

    fun getCountries() {
        val countriesDisposable = countriesUseCase.getCountries()
            .doOnSubscribe {
                countriesLiveData.value = Resource.Loading()
            }
            .subscribe(
                { success ->
                    countriesLiveData.postValue(Resource.Success(success))
                },
                { throwable ->
                    countriesLiveData.postValue(Resource.Failure(throwable))
                }
            )
        compositeDisposable.add(countriesDisposable)
    }

    override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
        compositeDisposable.clear()
    }
}

class ExcitelViewModelFactory @Inject constructor( private val viewModel: Lazy ) : ViewModelProvider.Factory { @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST") override fun <T : ViewModel?> create(modelClass: Class): T = viewModel.get() as T }

Any idea how can I resolve it ? I had it working the same way in a different project but in this new one I keep getting this error :

error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] com.example.excitelassignment.countrylist.presentation.viewmodel.CountriesViewModel cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method. public abstract interface ApplicationComponent extends dagger.android.AndroidInjector<com.example.excitelassignment.application.ExcitelApplication> {
