My WAF SQL injection match set resource is changing on each plan/apply. Trying to understand why

I’m using a fork of https://github.com/traveloka/terraform-aws-waf-owasp-top-10-rules that I have here: https://github.com/masterpointio/terraform-aws-waf-owasp-top-10-rules

It recently started acting as if my module.fronting_waf.module.owasp_top_10_rules.aws_waf_sql_injection_match_set.owasp_01_sql_injection_set[0] resource needs to be changed every time. This is obviously an issue with many terraform resources due to the ordering complexity, but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do about this one in particular. Nothing is dynamic in that resource declaration and it’s doing this all of a sudden without any changes to that resource specifically.

Here is the tf plan log:

module.fronting_waf.module.owasp_top_10_rules.aws_waf_sql_injection_match_set.owasp_01_sql_injection_set[0] will be updated in-place

Any thoughts or suggestions on things to try would be much appreciated. Thanks!
