How to get IQueryable<TEntity> after applying queryOptions.SelectExpand?

I am trying to apply the OData filters, selects, expands, orderbys to an IQueryable object.

Here is what I have

        [HttpGet("first")]
        public async Task<ActionResult<TModel>> FirstAsync(
            [FromQuery(Name = "$orderby")] string orderby = null,
            [FromQuery(Name = "$filter")] string filter = null,
            [FromQuery(Name = "$select")] string select = null,
            [FromQuery(Name = "$expand")] string expand = null)
        {
            var settings = new ODataValidationSettings()
            {
                AllowedFunctions = AllowedFunctions.AllFunctions,
                AllowedQueryOptions = AllowedQueryOptions.All,
                MaxOrderByNodeCount = 4,
                MaxTop = 1,
            };
            // I have an extension that reads the request and creates the ODataQueryOptions<TModel>
            ODataQueryOptions<TModel> queryOptions = Request.GetODataQueryOptions<TModel>();
        
            queryOptions.Validate(settings);

            IQueryable<TModel> query = BuildQuery(queryOptions, new ODataQuerySettings());

             return Ok(await query.FirstOrDefaultAsync());
        }

          [HttpGet]
          public async Task<ActionResult<TModel[]>> QueryAsync (
           [FromQuery(Name = "$orderby")] string orderby = null,
           [FromQuery(Name = "$filter")] string filter = null,
           [FromQuery(Name = "$select")] string select = null,
           [FromQuery(Name = "$expand")] string expand = null)
        {
            var settings = new ODataValidationSettings()
            {
                AllowedFunctions = AllowedFunctions.AllFunctions,
                AllowedQueryOptions = AllowedQueryOptions.All,
                MaxTop = SettingsProvider.DefaultMaxRecordsPerPage,
                MaxOrderByNodeCount = 4,
            };

            var queryOptions = Request.GetODataQueryOptions<TModel>();

            queryOptions.Validate(settings);

            IQueryable<TModel> query = BuildQuery(queryOptions, new ODataQuerySettings());

            var models = await query.ToArrayAsync();

            return Ok(models);
        }
        protected IQueryable<TModel> BuildQuery(ODataQueryOptions<TModel> queryOptions, ODataQuerySettings settings)
        {
            IQueryable<TModel> query = Repository;

            if (queryOptions.SelectExpand != null)
            {
             
                var queryable = queryOptions.SelectExpand.ApplyTo(query, settings);
                // this does not work
                query = queryable.Cast<TModel>();
            }

            if (queryOptions.Filter != null)
            {
                query = queryOptions.Filter.ApplyTo(query, settings) as IQueryable<TModel>;
            }

            if (queryOptions.OrderBy != null)
            {
                query = queryOptions.OrderBy.ApplyTo(query);
            }

            return query;
        }

The line queryable.Cast<TModel>(); causes the following error.

No coercion operator is defined between types

Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData.Query.Wrapper.SelectAllAndExpand`1[.Models.Survey]' and 'Models.Survey'

Is this an issue? if not, how is the right apply the filters to IQueryable?
