REGEX not working in transforms.conf

Here is my event:

Contact=" (Contact){ Id -- '123' Email -- 'johnny@gmail.com' Name -- 'Johnny blah' Phone -- '3333337856' }”

my props.conf

[ST_CONTACT_INFO]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = Contact=
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 150
REPORT-contact1 = report-contactdetails
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
pulldown_type = 1

my transforms.conf

[report-contactdetails]
SOURCE_KEY = Contact
REGEX = [\s]([\w]+)[\s]--[\s]\'([^\']+)
FORMAT = $1::$2
MV_ADD = true

The fields like Id , Email, Name and Phone numbers are not auto extracted. The REGEX works fine and tested on regex101.com , check at http://regex101.com/r/tP2wB5/2
When I put the configuration in props.conf and transforms.conf, why it is not working? I have ensured that I gave the correct SOURCETYPE for the input.

So it seems the field Contact isn't available at the time of that REPORT application.

Yes, it worked, but this overwrites the originally auto extracted field "Contact" with value single quote only. i.e Contact="

To narrow possible causes down please comment out the SOURCE_KEY - your extraction should still match on the _raw text as shown by your URL.
