Update session on hooks

Hello everyone, I'm trying to update a session (only if the user logged in with google or github) this is the code const auth = betterAuth({ 
  hooks: {
    after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
      if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
        if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
          const session = await getSessionFromCtx(ctx)
          console.log(session) // output: is null
          console.log(ctx.context.session) // output: is null

          await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
            session!.session.id,
            {
              ...ctx.
            }
          )
        }
        else if (ctx.params?.id === 'github') {
          console.log('github callback, attaching wallet....')
        }
      }
    }),
  }
  ...
})
  hooks: {
    after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
      if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
        if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
          const session = await getSessionFromCtx(ctx)
          console.log(session) // output: is null
          console.log(ctx.context.session) // output: is null

          await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
            session!.session.id,
            {
              ...ctx.
            }
          )
        }
        else if (ctx.params?.id === 'github') {
          console.log('github callback, attaching wallet....')
        }
      }
    }),
  }
  ...
})
session and ctx.context.session are always null.... how can I update the session if the user came from social login?

newSession works, but I'm not able to update the session 
hooks: {
  after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
    if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
      if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
        console.log('google callback, attaching wallet....')

        const newSession = ctx.context.newSession
        if (newSession?.session?.id === undefined) {
          console.log('no session found')
          return
        }

        console.log('session is', newSession)

        await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
          newSession.session.id,
          {
            selectedWallet: 'test',
          },
        )

        console.log('session updated')
      }
    }
  }),
},
hooks: {
  after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
    if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
      if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
        console.log('google callback, attaching wallet....')

        const newSession = ctx.context.newSession
        if (newSession?.session?.id === undefined) {
          console.log('no session found')
          return
        }

        console.log('session is', newSession)

        await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
          newSession.session.id,
          {
            selectedWallet: 'test',
          },
        )

        console.log('session updated')
      }
    }
  }),
},
I've found the issue... 1. Use ctx.context.newSession 2. Use newSession.session.token to update the session this is the code that works 
hooks: {
  after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
    if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
      if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
        console.log('google callback, attaching wallet....')

        const newSession = ctx.context.newSession
        if (newSession?.session?.token === undefined) {
          console.log('no session found')
          return
        }

        console.log('session is', newSession)

        await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
          newSession.session.token,
          {
            selectedWallet: 'test',
          },
        )

        console.log('session updated')
      }
    }
  }),
},
hooks: {
  after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
    if (ctx.path === '/callback/:id') {
      if (ctx.params?.id === 'google') {
        console.log('google callback, attaching wallet....')

        const newSession = ctx.context.newSession
        if (newSession?.session?.token === undefined) {
          console.log('no session found')
          return
        }

        console.log('session is', newSession)

        await ctx.context.internalAdapter.updateSession(
          newSession.session.token,
          {
            selectedWallet: 'test',
          },
        )

        console.log('session updated')
      }
    }
  }),
},
