How to install remote snapshot plugin (like repository-s3) on clusters running on [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co)?

I have a cluster running 6.3 with a index with buggy data. I've managed to fix the data and reindex it into a new local index.

I've created a new cluster running 6.4 and tried to use reindex remote but it fails for different reasons (scroll errors, I've already changed the size, doesn't work).

My hope is that if I can take a snapshot of my new index (with the fixed data) running on the cluster with 6.3 and restore it in the new cluster with 6.4 it might work.

Any clues?  
Cheers.

The repository-s3 plugin is already installed by default in Elastic Cloud, so please contact support if you are having problems using it.
