How to check either of variable exist in the gitlab rules?

I have a gitlab rule condition like below.

'$ACTION && $REGION && $ROLE_ARN && $PACKAGEURL && $ACTION == "new" && $CLOUD_PLATFORM == "aws" && $ROLE_ARN != "" && $PACKAGEURL != "" && $REGION != ""'

Want to modify it a bit so that, it should check either the existence of PACKAGEURL or BUILDRPMREQUIRED above.

Tried keeping as below but getting run even if the PACKAGEURL or BUILDRPMREQUIRED not provided.

'$ACTION && $REGION && $ROLE_ARN && ($PACKAGEURL || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED) && $ACTION == "new" && $CLOUD_PLATFORM == "aws" && $ROLE_ARN != "" && ($PACKAGEURL != "" || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED != "") && $REGION != ""'

I kept in rule as below.

.ifawsfulldeploy:
  rules:
    - if: '$ADMIN_SERVER_IP && $ADMIN_SERVER_IP != ""'
      when: never
    - if: '$ACTION && $REGION && $ROLE_ARN && ($PACKAGE_URL || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED) && $ACTION == "new" && $CLOUD_PLATFORM == "aws" && $ROLE_ARN != "" && ($PACKAGE_URL != "" || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED != "") && $REGION != ""'
      when: always

Other rules should be there, with only variables I am getting syntax error.

.ifawsfulldeploy:
  rules:
    - if: '$ADMIN_SERVER_IP && $ADMIN_SERVER_IP != ""'
      when: never
    - if: '$ACTION && $REGION && $ROLE_ARN && ( $PACKAGE_URL || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED ) && $ACTION == "new" && $CLOUD_PLATFORM == "aws" && $ROLE_ARN != "" && ( $PACKAGE_URL != "" || $BUILDRPMREQUIRED != "" ) && $REGION != ""'
      when: always

And in my job.

  only:
    variables:
      - $PACKAGE_URL
      - $BUILDRPMREQUIRED
  extends:
    - .ifawsfulldeploy

You can check variable is not null or check for at least one character in the variable

  rules:
    - if: ( $MY_VARIABLE != null || $MY_VARIABLE =~ /^./ )

Have you tried using a rule just for the variables? Like this example from the Gitlab docs:

job1:
  script:
    - echo This rule uses parentheses.
  only:
    variables:
      - ($CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main" || $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "develop") && $MY_VARIABLE
