Elasticsearch 8.15. Followed the instructions to upload synonyms file inside a zip file /dictionaries/synonyms.txt using custom bundles ( [Upload custom plugins and bundles | Elasticsearch Service Documentation | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-custom-bundles.html)). I've tried the path

"synonyms\_path": "/app/config/dictionaries/synonyms.txt" also, same error.
