Mongo DB aggregation date filter not working

Question

I am trying to filter date on MongoDB via pymongo. Specifically looking to "match" all dates greater than a given date. My query is definitely correct, as it queries perfectly in MongoDB compass - aggregations. However once I add this to my pymongo code it returns zero results. So as mentioned it did not work, so I have confirmed via the compass application, that my query string is infact correct, please assist, my code below is what I used to query in compass which works, and further below is my full aggregate pipeine in pymongo - which doesn't work. ( BTW: My date format is stored correctly in mongo - as "date")

{
// MongoDB compass code - works fine.

"date": {"$gt": new Date("2020-12-06T00:00:00.000+00:00")}

}

//Pymongo code

betdate = weekcol.aggregate([
    ## stage 1
    {"$match":{
  
"date": {"$gt": new Date("2020-12-06T00:00:00.000+00:00")}

    }        }
        
])

for bdate in betdate:
    print(bdate)

The above pymongo code, throws me the error:

File "", line 9 "date": {"$gt": new Date("2020-12-06T00:00:00.000+00:00")} SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I had a feeling it was the new date() which was a problem, but I changed it to ISODate(), and it still doesn't work.

The equivalent in pymongo is:

import datetime
import pytz

filter1 = {"date": {"$gt": datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=pytz.utc)}}
