Lack of pod connectivity on EKS

I have an EKS cluster(1.24) launched with Terraform's AWS EKS module. System generated security groups. Private or public subnets.

Cluster Inbound:

Node Inbound:

Node Outbound:

The cluster has 1 node and the backplane. It comes online the node connects and is in a ready state. Although coredns is mega sad as it can't fetch the version from the Cluster API.

When it comes online there is no sign of issue but it wont connect to the control plane API via the local loop back. And it has no internet connectivity.

./kubectl run -i --tty --rm debug --image=busybox -- sh
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
/ #  wget $KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_ADDR:$KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_PORT/version
Connecting to 172.20.0.1:443 (172.20.0.1:443)
wget: can't connect to remote host (172.20.0.1): Connection timed out

/ # nc gooogle.com
nc: bad address 'gooogle.com'

I've checked the NACL against another account where its working and it looks okay to me. I've tried it with and without the VPC CNI. NACL Inbound: NACL Outbound:

At node level, the node can connect to the internet, and pull images. What am I missing at pod level, why can't it connect to the API and why can't it connect to the internet? I don't have admin rights for the VPC and Subnetting but I have checked it against another account where the same stuff seems to work.
