Adding Multiple Licenses from temp using Ansible and k8s

We are trying to setup a Splunk License Manager and have it "automatically" pull in the licenses from within the container.

The following is the yaml file we have.

We can put all out files into /tmp/splunk-license using a configMap but have not been able to copy them into the /opt/splunk/etc/licenses/enterprise using a "command" and have also not been able to have just an ENV variable work to pull in the 2 licenses.

Any ideas?

Process: Create a k8s yaml file
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: splunk-license-manager
namespace: splunk
labels:
app: splunk-license-manager

replicas: 1
