Spans are broken if not using X-RAY

[Sutty100]

Describe the bug I have Lambda A that calls Lambda B via http through API Gateway. The span is not joined and instead I end up with two separate traces when using any tool other than X-RAY

Steps to reproduce Create a Java 11 Lambda. Disable active tracing. Use the latest layer: arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:901920570463:layer:aws-otel-java-agent-amd64-ver-1-32-0:1

OpenTelemetry config pointed to X-RAY, Zipkin, ElasticAPM

Lambda A and B both use API Gateway with the Lambda Proxy integration

Send some requests

What did you expect to see? A single trace across the two Lambdas in all 3 OpenTel compatiable tools.

What did you see instead? A single trace in X-RAY ✅ Two separate not joined traces in Zipkin and ElasticAPM ❌

What version of collector/language SDK version did you use? Version: 1-32-0

What language layer did you use? Config: Java
