Have you installed the `confluent.platform` collection?

Yes i found the issue like ansible collection was missing. I installed it and it started working but i dont want to use ansible collection for some reason . I wanted to use it as role. How can i convert those variable from confluent.platform to use it as general roles.  
Do i have to name my role as confluent.platform instead current platform???
