frigate: [Config Support]: KeyError: 'FRIGATE_MQTT_PASSWORD'

Describe the problem you are having

I don’t see it in the docs but according to this issue, it looks like Frigate supports environment variables in the config file. I have successfully gotten frigate up and running, however, when I add the following configuration, I’m getting an error. What am I doing wrong?

version: "3.5"
services:

  rtsp:
    container_name: rtsp

    devices:
      - "/dev/video0:/dev/video0"
    command: ["-U", "${RTSP_USER}:${RTSP_PASSWORD}", "-G","640x480x25", "-S"]

      FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "${RTSP_PASSWORD}"
      FRIGATE_MQTT_USER: "${MQTT_USER}"
      FRIGATE_MQTT_PASSWORD: "${MQTT_PASSWORD}"
