Are there any docs you're following for this?
You can't pass a lines object directly to create invoice API
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create
You'd need to create invoice items separately
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create

how does the api know which invoice to attach the item to? i see required params for adding an invoice item is customer and price, not invoice
also am i supposed to create the invoice or the item first?

You can create an empty invoice first, yes

ok so i am building a custom integration, i have now managed to create an invoice and manually finalised it so that i can generate a payment intent. How can i retrieve from the payment intent the client secret so that i can forward it to the client? is it possible with an invoicing flow?

Once you finalize the invoice, the invoice should have the payment intent under invoice.payment_intent
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payment_intent
So you can retrieve the invoice and expand payment_intent to get the client secret
