I assume your variables are getting deleted after the first playbook. I had a similar experience in a play which uses variables for the second playbook. You might consider setting temporary facts on source\_host and access them in the second play via “{{ hostvars['source\_host][fact\_name] }}”.  
Tbh, I’m not an expert an am still learning ansible and awx, but this might fix your problem.
