hello sir,
how to solve this :

const carSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  carName: {type: String, required: true},
  car_Insurances: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Insurance" }]
});

const Car = mongoose.model("Car", carSchema);

const InsuranceSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  InsuranceProvidedComp : {type: String, required: true},
  Car_validation : { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Carvalidate" }
});
const CarInsurance = mongoose.model("Insurance",InsuranceSchema );

const Carvalidate = mongoose.Schema({
  DateOfpruchase: {type: Number, required: true},
 totalKmTravel: {type: Number, required: true},
});

const Carvalidate = mongoose.model("Carval", Carvalidate);

Then how to populate field of using Car
means

const carData = Car.find().populate("Insurance");

we can get data of Insurance but how to get data of Carval schemaa
