Unable to connect to Mongodb Cluster after moving the primary to new node

MongoDB Atlas
#1

We have setup a MongoDB Atlas cluster in Single Region (us-east-1) with a private link on us-east-1 and us-west-2. After that we have implemented the following steps.

  1. Moved one node to us-west-2.
  2. Tested connectivity for the nodes after the move. It works well.
  3. We tried moving the primary from us-east-1 to us-east-2.
  4. When we tried the connectivity after re-configuration, we are unable to connect to the cluster.
    Is this a correct process ? If so, why am I losing the connectivity?

Do you have peering between your app tier regional VPCs/VNets (not sure if this is AWS or Azure) so as to be able to reach both regional privatelink enabled nodes from one or the other side?

This is in AWS. We do have private link setup on east and west region. When we just move a node from a single region to a multi region, connectivity is working.
Initially, one node in us-east-1 is primary. We are trying to re-configure to make the node in us-east-2 to primary by assigning a higher priority, the setup works. However the connectivity using private link fails.
