Azure DevOps - Using a secure file to store secrets referenced by app.confg

Context



creating an sdk that uses AWS DynamoDb in .NET 4.7.2. In my test project, I have an app.config file that references a secrets.confg file that stores my AWS keys. The secrets config is not included in any commits, for obvious reasons. However, I've uploaded secrets.config to my Library in DevOps as a "secure file". I also have a "download config file" task in the build process that downloads secrets.config to Agent.Temporary



Issue



I don't understand how modify the build process to "pick up" my secrets.config file so that when running my tests, the test project's app.config file knows where to look for secrets.config.



I've looked over a lot of documentation and I can't find exactly how to do this.
