Hey @mixman68! Sorry for the late reply. It seems as if the nginx_version default for modules was never properly implemented. I'll get a fix asap.

I will also mention that some modules have their own versioning schema (e.g. njs) so you will need to use the nginx_modules dictionary schema https://github.com/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx/blob/main/defaults/main/main.yml#L123-L125.
