Problems publishing to a private npm registry (CodeArtifacts) using Lerna

[ggrover-arc]

I'm looking to move from public npm registry to private npm registry hosted in AWS. The cmd that we are using to publish to a private registry is

lerna publish --conventional-commits --conventional-graduate --yes --message "Publish [skip ci]" --no-commit-hooks --pre-dist-tag alpha --registry https:// --loglevel 3 --force-publish

However I'm getting no diff found which results in zero packages published to the private registry

lerna info Graduating all prereleased packages lerna info Looking for changed packages since @xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx@24.3.7 lerna sill checking diff xxxxxxx

Any thoughts on how to publish to a private registry?

I've already tried the --force-publish flag option without any luck
