GCP - Metadata Startup Script not running on F5 LTM

[brstallings-clgx]

I've been working on this for several days now.
For some reason, when I use "https://github.com/f5devcentral/f5-terraform/tree/master/modules/providers/gce/infrastructure/proxy/standalone/1nic/byol" with bigip.tf and user_data.tpl, the startup-script never actually runs on the deployed F5 instance.
I've tried this using the Google compute module as well as the instance module.
Once the server finishes building, I see the startup-script under metadata properties. When I manually ssh to the server and check the /config folder, there is no cloud folder. Also when I check the /var/log folder, there is no startup-script.log.
It's like the Google instance received the startup-script but never injected it into the F5 operating system in order to run it.
I've even removed all variables in the user_data.tpl file in order to simplify things, but nothing seems to work.

Basically, all I would like the tpl file to do is to set the initial admin password on the F5 and save the config. From there my ansible setup will deploy the configuration.
