I am able to setup superset Oauth without Ambari, but struggling to make the config in Ambari because even if make change in superset_cofig.py Ambari is overwriting the superset_cofig.py when we restart the service.

I never used Superset with Ambari, but I am currently struggling with it for standalone usage due to the lack of proper documentation and practical use cases.
To my understanding, in order to read the superset_config.py you need to export the PYTHONPATH and point down to the folder where the config is placed.
For example: export PYTHONPATH=/<folder where the config is placed>/:$PYTHONPATH
If you get this right, you should see in Superset's logs something like this
Loaded your LOCAL configuration at [/<folder where the config is>/superset_config.py]
