Lamda function on multi VPC with peering

Hello, I have deployed my lambda function on a single VPC but would like to access a mongo cluster which is on another VPC.

I have configured the two VPC’s as detailed here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/PeeringGuide/peering-configurations-full-access.html#two-vpcs-full-access.

But my lambda is still not able to access the mongo cluster?

This is the error I get

I followed https://gist.github.com/reggi/dc5f2620b7b4f515e68e46255ac042a7 to setup the Lambda VPC as it needed internet access and this works, but now, the question is how to access the mongodb VPC from within that VPC?

Here is the serverless.yml, I am using

service: serverless-functions

  name: aws

plugins:

I have configure the routing tables as detailed here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/PeeringGuide/vpc-peering-routing.html

Any advice is much appreciated
