EKS no metrics showing up

I am not able to get any stats from gitlab. i dont know if it ever worked or not as this is the first time i am actually trying to look. I have managed EKS in gitlab-ee with prometheus and nginx installed and can get to my review and deployments. however i cant see from the command line anything

gitlab-ee/stretch,now 13.1.4-ee.0 amd64 [installed]

$ kubectl top nodes

Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource (get services http:heapster:)
$ kubectl top pods -A
Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource (get services http:heapster:)

I am not sure if the k8s top command is suppose to work or not… but looking in the gitlab GUI -/environments/3/metrics shows no data for everything

How do i go about debugging this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Prometheus in the gui.
