SSH Access Denied to Tenable Core (OL8)

hi everyone

about 6 months ago we provisioned new servers for nessus on OCI using the tenable core ol8 custom image
during creation i injected our standard SSH public key as we always do
since then we haven't been able to access these servers via ssh.. the web applications running on them are working perfectly fine! but ssh is completely blocked(?)
every time we try to connect it prompts us for a password instead of accepting our ssh key

someone from our enterprise architecture team mentioned that ssh might be disabled by default on this specific tenable image, but we are stuck because we cannot log in to change anything

im looking for suggestions official documentation orrr workarounds for this this is becoming urgent because if the storage fills up tomorrow we won't be able to increase it nor can we install any security agents on the servers..

has anyone faced this with Tenable Core on OCI? how can we gain access to these servers?
any documentation or advice would be highly appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

thanks!
