Cannot parse key privately (github actions CD. deploy meteor app to ec2)

Question

I am trying to setup up a simple CD workflow through github actions that deploys my meteor starter project on ec2 whenever i make a commit to the main branch. I have successfully configure my ec2 and mup.js to be able to deploy the project by running mup deploy. i now have issues setting up a github actions, seems like it has something to do with my pem file?

error:

  },

  mongo: {
    version: '4.4.12',
    servers: {
      one: {}
    }
  },
};

i have already added the contents of my pemfile into github's action's secrets with the key "MUP_PEM_FILE"
