AWS Load Balancer Controller is not available as an EKS addon yet. We do not have any plans to support self-managed versions of addons. You can track this issue for more details.

@pbarker It's quite easy to setup AWSLoadBalancerController...
in your cluster.yaml add...

iam:
  podIdentityAssociations:
    - namespace: kube-system
      serviceAccountName: aws-load-balancer-controller
      createServiceAccount: true
      wellKnownPolicies:
        awsLoadBalancerController: true
addons:
  - name: eks-pod-identity-agent
  - name: vpc-cni
    podIdentityAssociations:
      - namespace: kube-system
        serviceAccountName: aws-node
        permissionPolicyARNs: ['arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy']

then using helm...

helm repo update eks

helm install aws-load-balancer-controller eks/aws-load-balancer-controller \
  -n kube-system \
  --set clusterName=${CLUSTER_NAME} \
  --set region=us-west-2 \
  --set serviceAccount.create=false \
  --set serviceAccount.name=aws-load-balancer-controller
