Unable to Create Custom Resources via SAM CLI

I tried to manually deploy the solution via SAM CLI so i can make some tweaks to the lambda. I have not made any changes yet, just added a parameter for env. to concatenate with the lamdba names. I was getting a bunch of these errors for all the custom resources in the template.yaml file:

`CloudFormation did not receive a response from your Custom Resource. Please check your logs for requestId [c87e5bf0-5728-43bb-a35a-d401898a6673]. If you are using the Python cfn-response module, you may need to update your Lambda function code so that CloudFormation can attach the updated version.`

Reproduce the manual SAM CLI deployment using template.yaml and inspect the logs for the custom resources and request ID shown in the report. Compare the deployment parameters and custom-resource responses, including the referenced cfn-response behavior; done means every custom resource responds and the deployment completes successfully.
