It seems your introduced another error. Now connectionStrings is inside configSections when it should follow it that is now you likely have :

<connectionsStrings> : adds a connectionStrings child wiithin the opened congiSections which is not valid
When previously you had :
<configSections> : open the configSections

</configSections> : closes configSection
<connectionStrings> : now opens a section for connectionStrings
