What had they tried before? Are you saying that we had made an Attempt to Integrate the AGM-158 in the IWB of AMCA?

Its not always compulsory that any 5th generation fighter aircraft carry it's Missiles in it's
IWB(Internal Weopons Bay). They can also carry them on Hardpoints in the wings. This is called as beast mode in which you carry Weopons externally.
Beast mode is used in situations where Stealth and
LO(low visibility) is not required and you can go aggressive against the enemy.
Here is a picture of F-35 in beast mode
(carrying Weopons on external stations)
