Afraid there is no pictures attached.. Usually if a role doesnt appear, its because of the trust policy doesnt support the resource you are trying to assign the role too.

Update the role trust policy for the resource i.e. ec2 :-

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}
```
