I identified a bug:
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/504

and want to help test a PR fix to get the bug fixed.

I don't know how to do this, but I'm wondering if the following is correct; 
I had to kind of piece this together by reading various ansible docs about 
collections in and PRs:

Do I clone community.aws as in the instructions for community.general (
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections_contributing.html),
 
switch to a new branch in the clone and checkout the PR, modify 
COLLECTIONS_PATHS in my project's ansible configuration (which uses the 
cloudfront_distribution module) to point to and prefer this version of the 
collection, and begin testing, continuing to use the version of ansible I 
have in my project's virtual environment, of course making sure to test on 
a VM or container?  Also, I would run compile and sanity tests for 
collections 
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections_testing.html#testing-tools)

Do I need to use a source version of ansible core as well, or just the most 
recent stable version from pip that I have in my project's virtual 
environment?

If someone could let me know, that would be great, thank you,
