How exactly are you setting this up? Are you using cloud shell?
I am not sure if this will help you. I was setting a cloud vpn using the google cloud shell. I had to install pyenv as the google cloud shell only includes python 3.9 which doesn't support the latest ansible. After some tweaking I got it to work.

Thanks for your reply @RearDoor. I found that my ISP (And possibly the whole country) is blocking the Wireguard protocol handshake. I tried overcoming that but unfortunately I couldn't.
