Ansible Tower output shows failure with wrong python version

Issue

• Even though Python3 is expected, when a playbook is run from Ansible Tower, an error in the job output indicates python 2.x is being used.

  ansible-playbook 2.9.27
   config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
   configured module search path = [u'/var/lib/awx/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
   ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
   executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
   python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 13 2020, 02:51:10) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)]
