I checked the pieced of code you published You should write
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.html$" . html-helper-mode) auto-mode-alist)) instead of (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\.html$" . html-helper-mode) auto-mode-alist)) but that's not a problem that can cause your error. Maybe the error is somewere else...
