Issue validating AWS ACM certification using Terraform - amazon-web-services

Question

Disclaimer: I am new to both AWS and Terraform.
I am testing something out and when deploying my code, I keep running into the same error after running Terraform Apply
Error describing created certificate: Expected certificate to be issued but was in state PENDING_VALIDATION
I have tried running my code multiple times and it times out at 60 minutes each time. I cannot exceed 60 minutes due to a timeout of my session.
For this, there were two steps:
Create the Hosted Zone in a account 2 (this was done by a colleague and completed successfully)
resource "aws_route53_zone" "<example>" {
name = "<domain name>"
2.Created the A record, ACM cert, validation record, and validation object in account 1
resource "aws_route53_record" "<service>" {
provider = aws.account2
zone_id = data.terraform_remote_state.account2.outputs.route53_<example>_zone_id[0]
name = var.domain_name
type = "A"
alias {
name = aws_alb.<service>.dns_name
zone_id = aws_alb.<service>.zone_id
evaluate_target_health = true
}
}
resource "aws_acm_certificate" "<service>" {
domain_name = var.domain_name
validation_method = "DNS"
lifecycle {
create_before_destroy = true
}
}
resource "aws_route53_record" "<service>_validation" {
provider = aws.account2
for_each = {
for dvo in aws_acm_certificate.<service>.domain_validation_options : dvo.domain_name => {
name = dvo.resource_record_name
record = dvo.resource_record_value
type = dvo.resource_record_type
}
}
allow_overwrite = true
name = each.value.name
records = [each.value.record]
ttl = 60
type = each.value.type
zone_id = data.terraform_remote_state.account2.outputs.route53_<example>_zone_id[0]
}
resource "aws_acm_certificate_validation" "<service>" {
certificate_arn = aws_acm_certificate.<service>.arn
validation_record_fqdns = [for record in aws_route53_record.<service>_validation : record.fqdn]
timeouts {
create = "60m"
}
}
I have looked at quite a few examples online and cannot figure out yet where I went wrong. This is the final piece of my Terraform Apply.
I have checked the AWS Console on Account2 and I saw that the subdomain hosted zone was created and contained the necessary NS record as described here https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-subdomain-route-53/
