the task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute

Hello Team,

I have spent a lot of time trying troubleshoot this issue.

I have a roles with defined variable

 This is inside defaults/main.yml

nessus_agent_package:

  - redhat7:

  - al2: ./files/NessusAgent-8.3.1-amzn.x86_64.rpm

  - al1:

 and my tasks main.yml has an include which will identify the server and include an appropriate files inside

- name: include distribution specific install YAML files

  include: "{{ ansible_distribution }}.yml"

Those files are present on tasks level

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  740 Oct  5 20:49 Amazon.yml

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  260 Oct  5 08:41 Debian.yml

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1024 Oct  5 07:39 main.yml

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1040 Oct  5 08:55 RedHat.yml

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1031 Oct  5 08:57 SUSE.yml

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  260 Oct  5 08:02 Ubuntu.yml

Now I'm deploying the code inside an Amazon EC2 Linux 2 system which after gather the facts was routed to select Amazon.yml file. 

---

# ./roles/tenableagent/tasks/amazon.yml

- name: Install Nessus Agent for Amzon 2 from repo

  package:

    name: "{{ item.al2 }}"

    update_cache: yes

    cache_valid_time: "{{apt_cache_valid_time | default (omit)}}"

  loop: "{{ nessus_agent_package }}"

  when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Amazon" and ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "2")"

.Now when running the playbooks. I'm getting bellow error. Please can you help me out
