IRR information & BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) with Cloud Providers

Hi,  We have our own prefix assignment from ARIN. We have our infrastructure in GCP (Google Cloud Platform) where we 
started using BYOIP functionality (Google advertises our IPs). We followed their recommendation with ROA configuration 
in ARIN   cloud.google.com https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/bring-your-own-ip#live-migration-recommendations   but 
they don&#39;t mention if IRR (whois database) should be updated as well. I&#39;ve checked with their support and they 
said no additional changes need to be done there.  But currently we are in situation where ARIN&#39;s whois contains 
entry for our prefix with our own ASN and Google advertised to RADb entry for our prefixes with their own ASN. When we 
use online tools like   irrexplorer.nlnog.net https://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/   or Cisco&#39;s CrossWork Cloud (former 
BGPmon), they mark our prefixes due to mismatch of ASN in those 2 databases.  We haven&#39;t observed any routing 
issues so far (i.e. ISP not importing our prefixes), but we aim to sort this out for better credibility. I&#39;m 
wondering what&#39;s community approach for updating whois databases when using BYOIP functionality with Cloud 
providers and if there is a risk of any potential impact if we were to change information in ARIN.  Thanks
