Import Auth in multi-account AWS environment

We are building an app in a multi-account AWS environment and we're trying to consume a cognito pool that is under a different account other than the rest of the amplify resources. With other apps we always had the pool and the amplify resources under the same account, but now it cannot link the auth and the console says it cannot be found... is there a way to create a key/user to access both? Would manual config work when we have owner protected tables in the schema?
