Hi welcome to the forum.
the last line in the stack trace reveals the node type causing an issue:

You should check the nodes [issue tracker](https://github.com/peterprib/node-red-contrib-kafka-manager/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20) - there may be a known fix. If not, you can raise an issue in the hope the author fixes it. Alternatively, try using an alternative kafka node.
