Describe the bug

When setting OAuth values in amplify/backend/auth/<app>/override.ts, for example:

...
resources.userPoolClient.allowedOAuthFlows = ["code"];
resources.userPoolClient.allowedOAuthScopes = ["openid", "email", "profile"];
...

These values are not added to the aws-exports.js file.

If the values are added to cli-inputs.json, for example:

"oAuthMetadata": "{\"AllowedOAuthFlows\":[\"code\"],\"AllowedOAuthScopes\":[\"email\",\"openid\",\"profile\"],

The values do appear in aws-exports.js:

"oauth": {
        ...
        "scope": [
            "email",
            "openid",
            "profile"
        ],
        "responseType": "code"
        ...
    },

My understanding is these should be equivalent and override.ts is the more modern way of adding these settings.

Expected behavior

aws-exports.js contains OAuth values when set from override.ts file

Reproduction steps

1. Use amplify/backend/auth/<app>/override.ts to add OAuth properties
   a. e.g.

   resources.userPoolClient.allowedOAuthFlows = ["code"];
   resources.userPoolClient.allowedOAuthScopes = ["openid", "email", "profile"];
   

2. Perform an amplify push
3. Notice aws-exports.js does not update

Additional information

I may be misunderstanding this, and if using override.ts, there's another way of acccessing the values that are set, instead of using aws-exports.js, but I'm not sure what this process is if it exists.

Thanks!
