Auto-attaching VM series to Panorama in AWS

I am trying to boot and auto-attach a VM series FW to Panorama in AWS. I am specifying the user-data as follows:

type=dhcp-client
hostname=aws-palo-1
panorama-server=a.b.c.d
tplname=lz-firewall
dgname=lz-firewall
dns-primary=8.8.8.8
dns-secondary=8.8.4.4
op-command-modes=mgmt-interface-swap
dhcp-send-hostname=yes
dhcp-send-client-id=yes
dhcp-accept-server-hostname=yes
dhcp-accept-server-domain=yes
vm-auth-key=<omitted>

But after the firewall boots it is not attaching itself to Panorama. Is it supposed to connect to Panorama and add itself? What's the point of the vm auth key?

The issue was I did not have the proper tplname value. I was using a template name, it should have been the stack name.
