Hi there for anybody who stumbles upon this problem I managed to solve it using nodemailer and SESV2, I had base64 encoded data so your script might be a little different from mine but the snippet below should give you an idea... Here's my solution hope it helps someone:

const MailComposer = require("nodemailer/lib/mail-composer");
const AWS = require("aws-sdk");

const generateRawMailData = (message) => {
    let mailOptions = {
        from: message.fromEmail,
        to: message.to,
        subject: message.subject,
        text: message.bodyTxt,
        html: message.bodyHtml,
        attachments: message.attachments.map(a => ({ filename: a.name, content: a.data, encoding: 'base64' }))
    };
    return new MailComposer(mailOptions).compile().build();
};

const exampleSendEmail = async () => {
    var message = {
        fromEmail: "sender@server.com",
        to: "receiver@sender.com",
        subject: "Message title",
        bodyTxt: "Plaintext version of the message",
        bodyHtml: "
HTML version of the message
",
        attachments: [{
            name: 'hello.txt',
            data: 'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ='
        }]
    };

    let ses = new AWS.SESV2(),
    params = {
      Content: { Raw: { Data: await generateRawMailData(message) } },
      Destination: {
        ToAddresses: message.to,
        BccAddresses: message.bcc,
      },
      FromEmailAddress: message.fromEmail,
      ReplyToAddresses: message.replyTo,
    };

  return ses.sendEmail(params).promise();
}
