How do I troubleshoot the Ansible Error “block is not a valid attribute for a Play”? Or, is there a better attribute to use here?

Ansible Version:

ansible 2.9.18
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [u’/home/keith/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 2.7.5 (default, Nov 16 2020, 22:23:17) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]

Your code in your playbook should be inside "tasks:".
