S3fs not found despite being present

What do you do when you have prefect-ecs agent installed on AWS ECS Fargate with s3fs prefect-aws but still get a task error that it cannot find s3fs

Error log (flow run):

Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.

I have prefect-aws and s3fs installed in the prefect agent as seen from the cloudwatch logs.

+pip install prefect-aws s3fs

Essentially, I know that the error is the lack of the python package s3fs however, I do not know how to proceed further.
