I‘m 100% sure you have a syntax error in your config, very likely a missing comma or a bracket. The error message is some what misleading. Post your config and we‘ll look on it.

Stick with it! Its a great learning experience. Just take your time and dont rush.
Here is how you post your config entries.
Open the MagicMirror/config/config.js file in a text editor. Highlight the entries in the config file. CTRL-C or copy command. Then come back to the forum and start a reply post. When you want to paste your code click on the little </> icon above the post. You will see a notification in the posting then that reads Code Here. Highlight that Code Here and choose CTRL-V or paste command. That will paste the code. Choose Submit! Done.
