ng2 charts bar chart need spacing between 2 bars in series Angular

I am working on Angular app with ng2-charts. I am trying to show two series data in one bar chart graph. I am able to do it successfully but my bars are sticking two each other. I want space between my two bars.

enter image description here

If I remove the bar thickness from data it automatically takes the space bbetween bars but then bar are so thick which are not as per my design. I am trying to acheive something like https://appstack.bootlab.io/charts-chartjs.html this website.

Below is my code.

chart.html

<div style="display: block;">
  <canvas baseChart 
    [datasets]="barChartData"
    [colors] = "barChartColors"
    [labels]="barChartLabels"
    [options]="barChartOptions"
    [plugins]="barChartPlugins"
    [legend]="barChartLegend"
    [chartType]="barChartType">
  </canvas>
</div>

Chart.ts

public barChartOptions: ChartOptions = {
     scales: {
      xAxes: [
        {
          gridLines: {
            display: false
          }
        }
      ],
      yAxes: [
        {
          gridLines: {
            display: false
          },
          ticks: {
            beginAtZero: true
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    responsive: true,
    cornerRadius: 100,
    plugins: {
      labels: {
        render: 'value'
      }
    },
    legend: {
      position: 'bottom',
      labels: {
        fontColor: 'black',
        boxWidth: 20,
        padding: 20,
        fontFamily: 'Poppins',
        fontSize: 13
      }
    },
    animation: {
      animateScale: true,
      animateRotate: true
    }
  };
  public barChartLabels: Label[] = ['2006', '2007', '2008', '2009', '2010', '2011', '2012'];
  public barChartType: ChartType = 'bar';
  public barChartLegend = true;
  public barChartPlugins = [];
  public barChartColors = [{
   backgroundColor: '#3f80ea',
      borderColor: '#3f80ea',
      pointBackgroundColor: 'rgba(148,159,177,1)',
      pointBorderColor: '#fff',
      pointHoverBackgroundColor: '#fff',
      pointHoverBorderColor: 'rgba(148,159,177,0.8)',
      borderWidth: 3
  }]
    public barChartData: ChartDataSets[] = [
      { data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40], label: 'Series A', barThickness  :10 },
      { data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90], label: 'Series B', barThickness  :10}
    ];

Any help will be highly appreciated as I am trying my level best as beginner to get through this

If I understand what you mean, you want each part of the bar chart to be doubled That means show you two pieces of data

enter image description here

Now you just need to write the scales section like this

 scales: {
  x: {
    stacked: true,
  },
  y: {
    stacked: true,
  }
},

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { ChartConfiguration, ChartData, ChartEvent, ChartType } from 'chart.js';
import { BaseChartDirective } from 'ng2-charts';

import DataLabelsPlugin from 'chartjs-plugin-datalabels';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild(BaseChartDirective) chart: BaseChartDirective | undefined;

  public barChartOptions: ChartConfiguration['options'] = {
    responsive: true,
    // We use these empty structures as placeholders for dynamic theming.
    // scales: {
    //   x: {},
    //   y: {
    //     min: 10
    //   }
    // },
    scales: {
      x: {
        stacked: true,
      },
      y: {
        stacked: true,
      }
    },
    plugins: {
      legend: {
        display: true,
      },
      datalabels: {
        anchor: 'end',
        align: 'end'
      }
    }
  };
  public barChartType: ChartType = 'bar';
  public barChartPlugins = [
    DataLabelsPlugin
  ];

  public barChartData: ChartData<'bar'> = {
    labels: ['2006', '2007', '2008', '2009', '2010', '2011', '2012'],
    datasets: [
      { data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40], label: 'Series A' },
      { data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90], label: 'Series B' }
    ]
  };

  // events
  public chartClicked({ event, active }: { event?: ChartEvent, active?: {}[] }): void {
    console.log(event, active);
  }

  public chartHovered({ event, active }: { event?: ChartEvent, active?: {}[] }): void {
    console.log(event, active);
  }

  public randomize(): void {
    // Only Change 3 values
    this.barChartData.datasets[0].data = [
      Math.round(Math.random() * 100),
      59,
      80,
      Math.round(Math.random() * 100),
      56,
      Math.round(Math.random() * 100),
      40];

    this.chart?.update();
  }
}
<div>
    <div>
        <div style="display: block">
            <canvas baseChart [data]="barChartData" [options]="barChartOptions" [plugins]="barChartPlugins" [type]="barChartType" (chartHover)="chartHovered($event)" (chartClick)="chartClicked($event)">
      </canvas>
        </div>
        <button mat-button mat-raised-button color="primary" (click)="randomize()">Update</button>
    </div>
</div>

It really is not very likely, but I am using the latest Angular version
