How to solve missing peer deps in npm?

Question

There are a number of questions here on SO, which deal with the problem of conflicting/missing peer dependency, but they all seem to be directed at a very specific library (or got no answer at all).

I would like to know how to solve this problem in general. When a dependency requires a specific version of another lib and I have a newer version installed (example: React 17.0.1 as project dependency, react@^15.3.0 || ^16.0.0-alpha, required by [email protected]), how can I fix this situation?

So far I ignored the warning and the application seems to work fine. But I don't want to rely only on the current appearance.

Somewhere I read that such "local" versions are resolved (by NPM) by placing the 4th party dep in a sub node_modules folder of the lib, which requires it, but I haven't seen this happening.
