"tomcat_directory" variable not working properly on Amazon Linux 2023

I've set tomcat_directory variable with a custom value and it's still installing it on the default folder (/opt/service-name).

Here is my Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.define "server" do |v|
    v.vm.box = "bento/amazonlinux-2023"
    v.vm.box_version = "202404.23.0"
    v.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9090, host: 9090
  end
  config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
    ansible.galaxy_role_file = "requirements.yml"
    ansible.playbook = "playbooks/java-server.yml"
    # ansible.verbose = "-vvv"
    ansible.limit = 'all'
    ansible.compatibility_mode = "2.0"
    ansible.groups = {
        "java_server" => ["server"]
    }
  end
end

It's not a very complex playbook, it only installs tomcat and an a few java apps. As a requirement these apps must be on a specific folder.

Playbook

---
- name: Set tomcat values
  set_fact:
    my_tomcat_instance: |
      {{ my_java_app_tomcat_options | default({}) | combine({
          "name": my_ava_app_service_name,
          "user": my_java_app_user,
          "group": my_java_app_group,
          "tomcat_directory": my_java_app_home
        })
      }}
  when: my_java_app_tomcat_enabled

- name: Install and configure tomcat
  include_role:
    name: robertdebock.tomcat
  vars:
    tomcat_jre_home: "{{ my_java_app_java_home }}"
    tomcat_instances:
      - "{{ my_tomcat_instance }}"
  when: my_java_app_tomcat_enabled

All variables are being set properly and with the correct values as I've checked them multiple times using stdout. The problem is with the role.
