AWS CodePipeline github webhook not triggering on commit - github

Question

I set up an AWS CodePipeline that uses github as a source, CodeBuild for build, and deploys to ElasticBeanstalk.
I was able to get it working when everything was set up in the console and I was an admin of the github account (I used a different account for testing)
The actual code I need to deploy belongs to an account where I am not an admin so following this guide I received a Personal Access Token and updated the CodePipeline using the CLI.
Once i updated the project using the cli, it no longer gets triggered when the code is committed.
I'm not sure what changed, because it still doesn't work even when I use the console and set up the webhook directly as an admin of the github account I was testing with.
This is the json I updated the pipeline with:
{
"pipeline": {
"roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxx:role/service-role/AWSCodePipelineServiceRole-us-west-2-xxxxx-xxxx",
"stages": [

To fix the webhook for the updated GitHub source, you need to perform the following steps:
Use the steps in [1] to deregister and delete the existing webhook that is associated with the old GitHub repository.
Use the steps in [2] to recreate the webhook.
