Postgres debezium self managed kafka connector not able to create topics on confluent cloud

What:?
I am trying to create a data pipeline to capture change data (CDC) from RDS PostgreSQL to kafka cluster on confluent cloud.
How ?
I am running a self managed kafka connect cluster in docker container in an EC2 machine on AWS.
Note : I cant use PostgreSQL debezium confluent managed connector directly for security reasons.
Issue:
I am able to run the connect cluster and see the consumers are created on confluent kafka cluster but I dont see the topic to which data are streamed. The connector is running fine with no issues.

Configuration

curl -i -X PUT -H  "Content-Type:application/json" \
    http://localhost:8083/connectors/source-debezium-pg-01/config \
