Gitlab runner on kubernetes and annotations not being passed correctly

GitLab CI/CD
1

So in my gitlab yaml for kubernetes running on ec2’s to define the runner pod in the toml I have used:
PodAnnotationsOverwriteAllowed = ".*"

In my job gitlab-ci.yaml Im overriding with:
‘KUBERNETES_POD_ANNOTATIONS_1: “iam.amazonaws.com/role=arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/cool-role-bro”’

But, its not getting passed correctly for some reason, I see this:
‘Annotations:
KUBERNETES_POD_ANNOTATIONS_1: iam.amazonaws.com/role=arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/cool-role-bro’
