@CrimsonBinome24 remote_as is not a neighbor address family context option, and as such, it is not a part of the nxos_neighbor_address_family module. It has to be configured through the nxos_bgp_global module, like below.

- name: Merge the provided configuration with the existing running configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_bgp_global:
    config:
      as_number: 65563
      neighbors:
        - neighbor_address: 192.168.1.100
          remote_as: 65563
      vrfs:
        - vrf: site-1
          neighbors:
            - neighbor_address: 198.51.100.1
              description: site-1-nbr-1
              remote_as: 65562

Hope that helps with your issue.

That helps, it would be handy to condense all the neighbor configuration under one module but this meets my needs.
