Can't figure out how use "gather_facts" on remote host

I have a AAP job with survey question to fill in variable vm_name and works.
then the first lines of code in job are i try to explicitly do this

• name: Test if can gather facts from server job runs on
• hosts: "{{ vm_name }}"
  gather_facts: true

it crashes with syntax errors, i have tried 5 versions of those lines changing indenting and removing -name line as well, no luck.

My role main.yml

• name: Take VM Snapshot
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks:
  file: snapshot.yml

• name: Run CIS Benchmark Script
  ansible.builtin.include_tasks:
  file: script.yml

it crashes on script.yml . if you want job output let me know.
thank you.
