Dangling AWS Shield Protections after Ingress are deleted

Bug Description We use AWS Load balancer controller to manage ingress. We are using alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/shield-advanced-protection ingress annotation to protect the ingress using AWS Shield. This part works perfectly fine. However, when we delete our ingresses, we see that the Protection resource is not deleted. Protection resources have below attributes. "Name" = "managed by aws-load-balancer-controller" "AWS Resource" = "" "Resource type" = "Application Load Balancer" "Status" = "Resource Deleted" "AWS WAF web ACL" = "Error"

Steps to Reproduce

• Provision an ingress with Annotation alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/shield-advanced-protection = true
• Verify Shield Protection resource is created
• Delete the ingress

Expected Behavior

Since the protection resource is managed by load balancer controller, it should be deleted by the controller.

Actual Behavior

Protection resource still exists in a dangling state.

Regression Was the functionality working correctly in a previous version ? [Yes / No] If yes, specify the last version where it worked as expected Unsure about this.
