Models with text & text pair inputs are failing in Azure ML Studio

I’ve deployed cross-encoder-ms-marco-TinyBERT-L-2 model in ML studio for Inference. I’m trying to re-rank chunks as per user query. If I pass text & text pair as shown in model card for Hugging face Inference API, model is working as expected but if I pass same Inputs to ML Studio endpoint for Inference, we are not getting correct response.

import requests

# Replace with your actual Hugging Face API key
HF_API_KEY = ""
# AZ_API_KEY = ""

# The API URL for the specific cross-encoder model
HF_API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/cross-encoder/ms-marco-TinyBERT-L-2"
# AZ_API_URL = 'https://docs-reranker-ypifx.eastus2.inference.ml.azure.com/score'

# The headers to include in the API request
# az_headers = {
#     "Authorization": f"Bearer {AZ_API_KEY}", 'azureml-model-deployment': 'cross-encoder-ms-marco-tinyb-10'
# }

hf_headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {HF_API_KEY}"
}


def classify_text_pair(query, chunks):
    # The payload should be a dictionary with the "inputs" key
    # The model expects a list with a single pair of texts

    model_inputs = [{"text": query, "text_pair": str(passage)} for passage in chunks]
    payload = {"inputs": model_inputs}

    # payload = {
    #     "inputs": [{"text":query, "text_pair":passage}]
    # }

    # Send the POST request to the Hugging Face Inference API
    response = requests.post(HF_API_URL, headers=hf_headers, json=payload)
    # response = requests.post(AZ_API_URL, headers=az_headers, json=payload)


    # Check for a successful response and return the result
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Request failed with status code {response.status_code}")

# Example usage
query = "What is the capital of France?"
chunks = [  
    'Paris is the capital of France.',  
    'Spain is a country in Europe.',  
    'The Eiffel Tower is in Paris.',  
    'Many people in France speak French.',  
    'France is known for its wine.',  
    'France is a country in Europe.',  
    'The capital of Italy is Rome.',  
    'France has a population of about 67 million.',  
    'Paris is known for its museums and cultural sites.',  
    'The Seine is a river in France.'  
]  

# Call the function with the query and passage
result = classify_text_pair(query, chunks)

print(result)

Can someone help why it is not working for Models deployed in Azure ML Studio
