[aemada-aws]

Issue # (if applicable)

Closes #.

Reason for this change

#35148 and #35141

introduced a regression where the ECR public login doesn't happen anymore.

Description of changes

Fixed the logic responsible for running the helm commands.

Describe any new or updated permissions being added

Description of how you validated changes

I ran one of the integ tests and verified it pulled the image correctly. I did not run all integ tests because it will take ages and they validate the same thing.
