Metric Beats not changing indexName

Hello,
I have configured MetricBeats in one server but the index name is the same.
I have tried to change the config but the indexname is the same always and in the logs, I can see this message.

[index-management]	idxmgmt/std.go:178	Set output.elasticsearch.index to 
'metricbeat-7.3.1' as ILM is enabled.

this is the whole Log.

if you see the index-management happens before the config is loaded.
not sure if this could be the issue.

this is my output config in MetricBeat.yml

output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["http://sc-elk-01:9200/"]
  output.elasticsearch.index: "Palace-Dev-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
  setup.template.name: "Palace-Dev"
  setup.template.pattern: "Palace-Dev-*"
  setup.dashboards.index: "Palace-Dev-*"

Thank you in advance.
