func Find_User(user *model.User) (*mongo.SingleResult, error) {
	//Create a handle to the respective collection in the database.
	//finding user data using email and password
	query := bson.M{"email": user.Email}
	collection := clientInstance.Database(AUTH_DB).Collection(USER_COLLECTION)
	return collection.FindOne(context.TODO(), query), clientInstanceError

You’re missing to decode into a struct. Also, I recommend to write in a more procedural way so it’s easier to see the steps of the operation:

func FindUser(user *model.User) (model.User, error) { 
    filter := bson.M{"email": user.Email}
	result := model.User{}
	err := clientInstance.Database(AUTH_DB).Collection(USER_COLLECTION).FindOne(context.Background(), filter).Decode(&result)
	if err != nil {
		if errors.Is(err, mongo.ErrNoDocuments) {
			return model.User{}, nil
		}

		return model.User{}, fmt.Errorf("finding user: %w", err)
	}

	return result, nil
}

That really depends on you authentication implementation. You could compare the password you have for the user against the one is trying to use for log in and respond accordingly, but I wouldn’t do it at the storage level.
