    replace:
    dest: “{{ item.path }}”
    regexp: ‘AMSPORT’
    replace: ‘{{AMSPORT}}’
    loop_control:
    label: “{{ item.path }}”
    with_items: “{{ files_to_change.files }}”

In this case, the best option is the "nested" loop
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/lookup/nested.html#nested-composes-a-list-with-nested-elements-of-other-lists

Two lists are needed. A list of the files and a list of the
variables. Instead of the list of hashes it would be easier to use a
dictionary

  my_vars:
    MACHINE: gpack.tmt.com
    AMSPORT: 9933

The output of the task below shows how to create the loop
and the parameters

    - debug:
        msg:
          - "dest: {{ item.0.path }}"
          - "regexp: {{ item.1 }}"
          - "replace: {{ my_vars[item.1] }}"
      with_nested:
        - "{{ files_to_change.files }}"
        - "{{ my_vars.keys()|list }}"

If this is what you want replace the variables in the files

    - name: Replace string in files
      replace:
        dest: "{{ item.0.path }}"
        regexp: "{{ item.1 }}"
        replace: "{{ my_vars[item.1] }}"
      with_nested:
        - "{{ files_to_change.files }}"
        - "{{ my_vars.keys()|list }}"
