Alert manager exec errors in cluster

Since we've added our indexers into a cluster, we're getting the following exec error message:

message from  "/opt/splunk/etc/slave-apps/alert_manager/bin/alert_manager_scheduler.sh"
python: can't open file '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/alert_manager/bin/alert_manager_scheduler.py':
[Errno 2] No such file or directory

Which makes sense, because the apps are being deployed deployed to etc/slave-apps now. So I can change the .sh script to point to etc/slave-apps/alert-manager/bin/alert_manager_scheduler.py.
However, We're also deploying to our search heads, and the app will reside in etc/apps. So changing the path will break the script on the search heads. Can I just add the slave-apps path to the script and have both run, and one will work on the search heads and one will work on the indexers, and just live with the error messages that happen? Or will that cause the end of the world?

Maybe put a symlink on the indexers? Won't have to worry about version creep on the files.
