Subject: [PATCH] Update config.md (#9638) (#9640)

Added clarification on how to change the timezone correctly. The documentation -- if carefully read -- explains how to change the timezone but it can be easily missed. I also explicitly mentioned the specific variable that must be set to change the timezone from UTC

(cherry picked from commit 34db1a2a491f271fc0bffa54c6257b2b0e5815eb)
