[Python] Can't create a monthly recurring google calendar event with python

I am using a python script to import calendar entries from one tool to google calendar. I have no problems with events that repeat weekly, but the monthly repeating events get created incorrectly.

I want to create a calendar event that happens on the first Wednesday of every month.

The event created either occurs only once or occurs weekly, even though the properties say some form of Monthly.

I have tried the following rules:

RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=WE
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=WE;
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=1;BYDAY=WE


I've been using https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.5 as a reference, along with other google search results, but nothing seems to let me create the event correctly. Any clues as to what I am missing?

The full event description:

google_data = {
'summary': event_data['summary'],
'description': event_data['description'],
'start': {
'dateTime': event_data['start'],
'timeZone': 'America/New_York',
},
'end': {
'dateTime': event_data['end'],
'timeZone': 'America/New_York',
},
'attendees': [event_data['attendees']],
'location': event_data['location'],
'recurrence': [rrules], }
