have you added the inferAdditionalFields to your authClient? This is what mine looks like and I have additional fields on my user with no type errors:

import {
  inferAdditionalFields,
} from "better-auth/client/plugins";

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  plugins: [
    inferAdditionalFields<typeof auth>(),
  ],
});
