Getting "PreconditionFailed - inequivalent arg 'x-max-priority' for queue" error when trying to set up priority queues with Celery+RabbitMQ

I have RabbitMQ setup with two queues called: low and high. I want my celery workers to consume from the high priority queue before consuming tasks for the low priority queue. I get this following error when trying to push a message into RabbitMQ

>>> import tasks
>>> tasks.high.apply_async()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is my celery configuration

import ssl
broker_url="amqps://"
result_backend="amqp://"
include=["tasks"]
task_acks_late=True
task_default_rate_limit="150/m"
task_time_limit=300
worker_prefetch_multiplier=1
worker_max_tasks_per_child=2
timezone="UTC"
broker_use_ssl = {'keyfile': '/usr/local/share/private/my_key.key', 'certfile': '/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/my_cert.crt', 'ca_certs': '/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/rootca.crt', 'cert_reqs': ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, 'ssl_version': ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2}
from kombu import Exchange, Queue
task_default_priority=5
task_queue_max_priority = 10
task_queues = [Queue('high', Exchange('high'), routing_key='high', queue_arguments={'x-max-priority': 10}),]
task_routes = {'tasks.high': {'queue': 'high'}}

I have a tasks.py script with the following tasks defined

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
from celery_app import celery_app

@celery_app.task
def low(queue='low'):
    print("Low Priority")

@celery_app.task(queue='high')
def high():
    print("HIGH PRIORITY")

And my celery_app.py script:

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
from celery import Celery
from celery_once import QueueOnce
import celeryconfig

celery_app = Celery("test")
if __name__ == '__main__':
    celery_app.start()

I am starting the celery workers with this command

celery -A celery_app worker -l info --config celeryconfig --concurrency=16 -n "%h:celery" -O fair -Q high,low

I'm using:

RabbitMQ: 3.7.17
Celery: 4.3.0
Python: 3.6.7
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS bionic
