This doesn't make sense. You generate an ephemeral runtime unit in
/run but you then try to enable it in /etc.

To make it easier to help, you should give us an idea/overview what
you are trying to achieve. What you did so far (and why), what
environment you are using etc.

It's really hard to give you a good answer when we don't even tell us
the systemd version and distro you are using.
