Can I deduct HSA contributions from my Georgia State taxes as a non-resident?

Alright here goes...

I had contributions to an HSA outside of my W2.  IE: not automatically made through employer.  On the federal form 1040 Schedule 1 this appears on line 25, and then appears on line 36 Schedule 1 as the sum for adjustments.  That is then taken off on 1040 Line 7 to calculate AGI.  Yes, I filled out form 8889.

Alright, I am a Georgia non-resident.  That requires me to fill out Form GA500 schedule 3.  Line 6 is adjustments from 1040.  Whether or not this can be counted in column C (applicable to my GA taxes) is the question.  The instructions for the Georgia form 500 do not seem to include this as an applicable adjustment in GA, but I feel I am missing something since if you were a resident form 500 uses AGI (Line 8).
