      Groups associated to surfaces isogenous to a higher product of curves can be characterised by a purely group-theoretic condition, which is the existence of a so-called ramification structure. A special case of a group admitting a ramification structure is called a Beauville group. A finite group with a Beauville structure gives rise to a certain compact complex surface called a Beauville surface. In 2020, \textit{Ş. Gül} and \textit{J. Uria-Albizuri} [Groups Geom. Dyn. 14, No. 2, 689--704 (2020; Zbl 1467.20013)] showed that quotients of the periodic Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki groups acting on the $p$-adic tree, for p an odd prime, admit Beauville structures. In this paper, the authors generalize their result by showing that quotients of infinite periodic GGS-groups acting on $p^n$-adic trees, for $p$ a prime and $n>2$, also admit Beauville structures.
