What is happening?

Hello, I'm tryng to connect to a aws braket backend that is not in my default region.
This query work fine
backends = provider.backends(statuses=["ONLINE"])
but this one is using the wrong region
provider.backends(statuses=["ONLINE"], types=["SIMULATOR"])

snippet.txt

How can we reproduce the issue?

The snippet shows the basic steps to reproduce the error.
I configured .aws/config with 2 profiles like these:

[default]
region = eu-south-1

[profile user-virginia]
region = us-east-1

What should happen?

after this export on terminal:
export AWS_PROFILE=user-virginia

both
BraketProvider().backends(statuses=["ONLINE"])
and
BraketProvider().backends(statuses=["ONLINE"], types=["SIMULATOR"])
should connect to us-east-1

but the second returns:
EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://braket.eu-south-1.amazonaws.com/devices"

Any suggestions?
