You can check the instance profile:
Ensure the instance profile is correctly associated with the IAM role. Go to the IAM dashboard, select Roles, and then click on the role you created.
Verify that the Trust relationships tab shows the trust policy allowing EC2 to assume the role.

Maybe try reapplying the policy and restarting the EC2 instance.

Okay, I will give a try and let you know.

Oh you are using the playground. A lot of IAM stuff is not supported in the KodeKloud AWS Playground.

Oh ok, so this type of testing I need to do in my personal account?

Yes for IAM activities I would use a personal AWS account.
