MQTT won't connect when using example code aws_iot_WIFI.ino

[dansheffield]

Im using the example code aws_iot_WIFI.ino. The device successfully connects to the internet but never manages to connect to the aws MQTT. I have checked the ports are open on my router and I ping the URL for the endpoint successfully.
I created a certificate using the key from the nano module. Ive see on git hub others have had the same issue, has anybody seen this before and can help

/*
  AWS IoT WiFi

  This sketch securely connects to an AWS IoT using MQTT over WiFi.
  It uses a private key stored in the ATECC508A and a public
  certificate for SSL/TLS authetication.

  It publishes a message every 5 seconds to arduino/outgoing
  topic and subscribes to messages on the arduino/incoming
  topic.

  The circuit:
  - Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 or MKR1000

  The following tutorial on Arduino Project Hub can be used
  to setup your AWS account and the MKR board:

  https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/132016/securely-connecting-an-arduino-mkr-wifi-1010-to-aws-iot-core-a9f365

  This example code is in the public domain.
