Traefik ECS provider is not forwarding client IP with AWS ALB

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)

I'm trying to fix this issue for the past 2 days but I don't know how to resolve it. I wanted to capture the client IP on the application with traefik proxy.

Setup:

R53 --> ALB --> (Traefik proxy --> applocation) ECS

I'm running my application on ECS and leveraging ECS provider.

What I have tried :

Adding the below labels to the traefik as per the documents:

--entrypoints.http.forwardedheaders.trustedips=0.0.0.0/0
--entrypoints.https.forwardedheaders.trustedips=0.0.0.0/0
--entrypoints.http.forwardedheaders.insecure=true
--entrypoints.https.forwardedheaders.insecure=true

Tried all of them together and individually also but every time I add these configurations traefik stopped working without any useful logs.

What I observed:

Without adding any of these configurations if I hit the trafik IP directly by skipping the Loadbalancer I can see My IP (client-IP). does it mean i need to make changes in the AWS-ALB ?

Through LB:

Directly IP HIT:

Works now with the below configs:
