I an getting error while executing this script query using Nest :

```auto
 new ScriptQuery
                                        {
                                            Lang = "painless",
                                            Source = "(!doc[params.headquartersCoordinatesField].empty && doc[params.headquartersCoordinatesField].arcDistance(params.latitude, params.longitude) * 0.000621371 <= params.maxDistance) || (!doc[params.offices].empty && (for (def office : doc[params.offices].values){if(office.coordinates).arcDistance(params.latitude, params.longitude) * 0.000621371 < =params.maxDistance{return true;}}))",
                                            Params = new Dictionary<string, object>
                                            {
                                                {"headquartersCoordinatesField", Field<Provider>(f => f.Headquarters.Coordinates)},
                                                {"offices", Field<Provider>(f => f.Offices)},
                                                {"latitude", _latitude},
                                                {"longitude", _longitude},
                                                {"maxDistance", 50} 
                                            }
                                        }

```

The error is as follows :  
ServerError: Type: search\_phase\_execution\_exception Reason: "all shards failed" CausedBy: "Type: script\_exception Reason: "compile error" CausedBy: "Type: illegal\_argument\_exception Reason: "invalid sequence of tokens near ['for']." CausedBy: "Type: no\_viable\_alt\_exception Reason: "no\_viable\_alt\_exception: null""""

Can someone look into this and let me know what changes are needed to run it successfully ? Thanks in advance.
