Well setting the timezone for the string will have 0 effect on Timestamps without timezones. The server will not change the timezone for those.
```
create table foo (ts timestamp, tz timestamptz);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into foo values (now(),now());
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from foo;
ts | tz
----------------------------+-------------------------------
2021-10-27 08:59:21.824902 | 2021-10-27 08:59:21.824902-04
(1 row)
postgres=# set timezone to -5;
SET
postgres=# select * from foo;
ts | tz
----------------------------+-------------------------------
2021-10-27 08:59:21.824902 | 2021-10-27 07:59:21.824902-05
```
As you can see only the timestamp with time zone changes when I change the session timezone.
I fail to see how setting the session timezone fixes anything for you.
As for your other problem that would be something to discuss with hackers
