Using an argument to change the config on a button?

I am working on a battleship game, (Yes it can be simplified a lot, i am novice to code but ahead in my high school class).

from tkinter import *
window = Tk()

mainFrame = Frame(window, width=500, height=500)
mainFrame.grid(row=0, column=0)

listShot = []

def shootAt(location):
    print(location)
    if(location in listShot):
        print()
    else:
        listShot.append(location)
        print(listShot)
        location.config(relief = SUNKEN)

A1 = Button(mainFrame, text="X", width = 4, height = 2, 
            command = lambda: shootAt(A1))
A1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=2, pady=2)

How would I use an argument in my buttons to change the config of the called button?

You can use lambda to give as many arguments as you want to the shootAt() function

Please note: fg is just an example, you can change this to whatever you want

def shootAt(location, CONFIGURE_THIS):
    ...
    else:
        ...
        location.config(relief = SUNKEN, fg = CONFIGURE_THIS)

A1 = Button(mainFrame, text="X", width = 4, height = 2, 
            command = lambda: shootAt(A1, "orange"))
