ansible replace module for editing a value in .xml file

on

tried to replace specific path in .conf file with another file using ansible but not getting modified as wanted.

below is my .conf file content

<!-- Server Clusters --><ServerCluster CloneSeparatorChange="false" GetDWLMTable="false" IgnoreAffinityRequests="true" LoadBalance="Round Robin" Name="Shared_3_Cluster_0" PostBufferSize="0" PostSizeLimit="-1" RemoveSpecialHeaders="true" RetryInterval="60" ServerIOTimeoutRetry="-1">

            <Property Name="stashfile" Value="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.sth"/>

Here I was trying to modify the repeating strings

From

<Property Name="keyring" Value="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.kdb"/>
<Property Name="stashfile" Value="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.sth"/>

To

  <Property Name="keyring" Value="/opt/HTTPServer/key.kdb"/>
  <Property Name="stashfile" Value="/opt/HTTPServer/key.sth"/>

Tried with my below play , its changing the value, but the spaces are not coming exactly as it neeed ( the modified line is just staring from the begining) and which is making application down

- name: change ihs plugin
  hosts: IHS
  tasks:
    - name: Ansible replace string example
      replace:
        path: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/WebServer1/Plugin-cfg.xml
        regexp: '^(.*<Property Name="keyring" Value="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.kdb"/>.*)'
        replace: '<Property Name="keyring" Value="/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/key.kdb"/>'
    - name: Ansible replace string example
      replace:
        path: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/WebServer1/Plugin-cfg.xml
        regexp: '^(.*<Property Name="stashfile" Value="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-key.sth"/>.*)'
        replace: '<Property Name="stashfile" Value="/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/key.sth"/>'

Expected output
