Set up Tableau Server to Run on AWS GovCloud – CentOS

I am trying to set up a tableau server on my AWS gov cloud account, for starters I created a tableau server on a typical AWS CloudFormation using the Quickstart guide found here
AWS Tableau Server Quickstart guide. I started off using this template template and hoped that I could copy YAML file over to the gov cloud, use the same template YAML and just have the server on the gov cloud however on deployment I got the following error:

Partition "aws" is not valid for resource "arn:aws:s3:::aws-quickstart/quickstart-tableau-server/*"

my guess is that somewhere in the YAML (shown below):

there is some sort of hardcoding that is not allowing for govcloud configuration but I have yet to be able to glean where exactly that is

    Since that parent template is using nested CloudFormation stacks, the child stack templates also need to be correct:

    https://aws-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-tableau-server/submodules/quickstart-aws-vpc/templates/aws-vpc.template

    https://aws-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-tableau-server/templates/tableau-single-server.template

    Line 253 of tableau-single-server.template has that hardcoded ARN partition:

                  - !Sub 'arn:aws:s3:::${QSS3BucketName}/${QSS3KeyPrefix}*'

    Line 245 also has another hardcoded ARN partition:

        - arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonEC2RoleforSSM

    These lines should probably use the AWS::Partition psuedoparameter instead

    “AWS Partition” (the second element in the ARN id) for US Gov cloud is: aws-us-gov, not aws.

    So in all you ARNs, where you see something like arn:aws:s3:::aws-quickstart... you need to use arn:aws-us-gov:s3:::aws-quickstart... instead.
