Please help with the query (INSERT RETURNING BULK COLLECT INTO)

Question

I am trying to write a query inside the C# code where I would insert values into a table in bulk using bind variables. But I also I would like to receive a bulk collection of generated sequence number IDs for the REQUEST_ID. I am trying to use RETURNING REQUEST_ID BULK COLLECT INTO :REQUEST_IDs clause where :REQUEST_IDs is another bind variable
Here is a full query that use in the C# code
INSERT INTO REQUESTS_TBL(REQUEST_ID, CID, PROVIDER_ID, PROVIDER_NAME, REQUEST_TYPE_ID, REQUEST_METHOD_ID, SERVICE_START_DT, SERVICE_END_DT, SERVICE_LOCATION_CITY, SERVICE_LOCATION_STATE, BENEFICIARY_FIRST_NAME,
BENEFICIARY_LAST_NAME, BENEFICIARY_DOB, HICNUM, CCN, CLAIM_RECEIPT_DT, ADMISSION_DT, BILL_TYPE,
LANGUAGE_ID, CONTRACTOR_ID, PRIORITY_ID, UNIVERSE_DT, REQUEST_DT, BENEFICIARY_M_INITIAL,
ATTENDING_PROVIDER_NUMBER, BILLING_NPI, BENE_ZIP_CODE, DRG, FINAL_ALLOWED_AMT, STUDY_ID, REFERRING_NPI)
VALUES
(SQ_CDCDATA.NEXTVAL, :CIDs, :PROVIDER_IDs, :PROVIDER_NAMEs, :REQUEST_TYPE_IDs,
:REQUEST_METHOD_IDs, :SERVICE_START_DTs, :SERVICE_END_DTs, :SERVICE_LOCATION_CITYs,
:SERVICE_LOCATION_STATEs, :BENEFICIARY_FIRST_NAMEs, :BENEFICIARY_LAST_NAMEs, :BENEFICIARY_DOBs,
:HICNUMs, :CCNs, :CLAIM_RECEIPT_DTs, :ADMISSION_DTs, :BILL_TYPEs, :LANGUAGE_IDs,
:CONTRACTOR_IDs, :PRIORITY_IDs, :UNIVERSE_DTs, :REQUEST_DTs, :BENEFICIARY_M_INITIALs,
:ATTENDING_PROVIDER_NUMBERs, :BILLING_NPIs, :BENE_ZIP_CODEs, :DRGs, :FINAL_ALLOWED_AMTs,
:STUDY_IDs, :REFERRING_NPIs) RETURNING REQUEST_ID BULK COLLECT INTO :REQUEST_IDs
However, when I run this query, it gives me a strange error ORA-00925: missing INTO keyword. I am not sure what that error means since I am not missing any INTOs
Please help me resolve this error or I would appreciate a different solution
Thank you

You cannot use (and do not want to in this case) the BULK COLLECT.
create table for_testing
   the_id      number not null primary key,
   some_data   number
declare
   l_return_value for_testing.the_id%type;
begin
  4 
   insert into for_testing
      the_id,
      some_data
   values
      1,
      5
   returning the_id into l_return_value;
   dbms_output.put_line('the return values is ' || l_return_value);
end;
20  /
the return values is 1
