How to map C# DateTime property to @timestamp field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying unsuccessfully to se the c# client to bluk insert data into elasticsearch. the client connects successfully, however I now have an issue with the following code:

var settings = client.ElasticsearchClientSettings;

settings.DefaultIndices.Add(typeof(HardwareData), "metrics-hardware-pristem");
var data = new HardwareData
{
    Id = 1,
    System_ErrorLevel = 1,
    timestamp = DateTime.Now
};
var timestampMemberInfo = typeof(HardwareData).GetMember("timestamp")[0];
client.ElasticsearchClientSettings.PropertyMappings.Add(timestampMemberInfo,
    new PropertyMapping() { Name = "@timestamp" });

var r2 = await client.IndexAsync(new IndexRequest<HardwareData>()
{
    Document = data
});
Console.WriteLine($"success={r2.IsSuccess()} : {r2.Id} => {r2.Result},{r2.DebugInformation}");

The output of DebugInformation is:

{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"data stream timestamp field [@timestamp] is missing"}},"status":400}

From what I see there is lots of documentation on the NEST api, but very little on the current api, I was unable to find a working example.

What is the easiest way to map a property to a field (particularly the timestamp, since others should map automatically because they have the same name, I cannot use @timestamp as the name) ?

Additionally I tried using json attributes on the HardwareData class to specify the mapping, but that also failed with the same error.
