I do not have your system up to be precise, but the simplest way is to
create an override copy of the whole unit file. This means you miss out on
changes to the unit made in upstream updates, but that is on you.

You would usually find the unit file by looking for the first comment line
from the command - systemctl cat logind.service (or whatever the unit is
named). Then copy that file to /etc/systemd/system and make all the edits
you want.

Then reload systemd (systemctl daemon-reload) to make it aware of the
changes.
