Objects within objects in JavaScript

I am currently practising how to declare multiple objects within other objects, however, I am struggling to understand where I have gone wrong. The code provided below is what I used and it is just a random collection of variables. Once put through the chrome browser console, it returns an error for line 21 that declares a generate object within the myObj. The error says: "Uncaught syntax error: Unexpected Identifier". 

let myObj = {


    module: {

        color: 'red',
        dimensionX: 230,
        dimensionY: 330,
        hasBorder:  false,
        currentSpecs: ['mod1', 'mod2', 'mod3', 'mod4', 'mod5', 'mod6', 'mod7' ],
        points: 1240,
        bonusPoints: 200,
        multiplier: 2.5,
        score: function(){

            return (this.points + this.bonusPoints) * this.multiplier;  

        }
    }

    generateEnemy: {

        enemyTypes: 13,
        enemyClans: [

            ['covenant', 'red', 4, 'average', true],
            ['pedants', 'green', 1, 'strong', true],
            ['floods', 'yellow', 3, 'strong', false],
            ['rodies', 'orange', 2, 'weak', false], 
            ['probear', 'blue', 3, 'strong', false]

        ],

        enemySpawns: true

    }


}

It looks like it wants a comma after your closing bracket for Module.
