Laravel Pagination Not Working

Hi everyone, Laravel pagination is not working in one of my controller. In other controllers, it's working totally fine.

Following is the dump of my controller code

try {
            $courseCategory = (new CourseCategoryService)->getByColumnName('slug', 'course');

            $courseChannels        = Channel::with('course')
                ->where('course_category_id', $courseCategory->id)
                ->paginate(10);

            $this->pr($courseChannels->toArray());

            return view('user.course.free-course', [
                'courseCategory'    => $courseCategory,
                'courseChannels'    => $courseChannels
            ]);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            session()->flash('error', $e->getMessage());
            return redirect()->route('auth.login');
        }

When I use $this->pr() to dump the code it shows the following which has links set perfectly fine

Array

    [current_page] => 1

My view page throws an exception. The following is code on the view page

@forelse ($courseChannels as $channel)
            <div class="post bg-white shadow-sm mb-5">
                @include('user.course._course')
            </div>
            @empty
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <div class="post bg-white shadow-sm p-2 text-center">
                        <h5>Oops! No courses yet.</h5>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            @endforelse

            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12 text-center">
                    {{ $courseChannels->links() }}
                </div>
            </div>

The following is the exceptions that are getting thrown

BadMethodCallException
Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::links does not exist. (View: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/myproject/resources/views/user/course/free-course.blade.php)

Since I am using Bootstrap 4 I have already added the following code in AppServiceProvider

public function boot()
    {
        Paginator::useBootstrap();
}
