Data trigger runs on 1st day of month instead of last day of month

Good Day Looker Community 
Hoping to get some assistance with the below trigger that I have created.

Goal: Looker currently has no native functionality to schedule a Look or Dashboard on the last day of the month.
My goal is to create a data trigger that will allow me to schedule a Look or Dashboard to run on the last day of every month at 2 am.

Tried Approaches:
Approach 1:
datagroup: monthly_at_two_am_on_last_day_test_1 {

sql_trigger: SELECT DATEADD(hour, 2, date_trunc('month', CURRENT_DATE) + interval '1 MONTH - 1 DAY');;
}

Approach 2:
datagroup: monthly_at_two_am_on_last_day_test_2 {

sql_trigger: SELECT DATEADD(hour, 2,DATE_TRUNC('month', GETDATE())+ interval '1 MONTH - 1 DAY');;
}

Challenges:
When I setup a look or dashboard to use the above triggers, the schedule runs on the 1st day of the next month at 2 am instead of the last day of the month at 2am.
So theres a 24 hour delay.

Additional info:
The data triggers are created in a '.model' file.
I then go to the report that I need scheduled and select the data-group from the drop down.
I have played around with the Delivery Timezone option when scheduling.
