SCCM Language Pack Deployment

I'm currently building Windows Server(s) 2019 via SCCM Task Sequence and everything is great my issue is integrating the en-Gb language pack.

I have a task that injects the language pack after the operating system deployment but I get an error code of 2, which indicates that the file is not found.

I'm using DISM in image mode to deploy the language pack and this is my syntax

dism.exe /Image:"%OSDTargetSystemDrive%" /ScratchDir:%OSDTargetSystemDrive%\Windows\Temp /Add-Package /PackagePath:".\Microsoft-Windows-Server-Language-Pack_x64_en-gb.cab"

I've also tried

dism.exe /Image:"%OSDTargetSystemDrive%" /ScratchDir:%OSDTargetSystemDrive%\Windows\Temp /Add-Package /PackagePath:"Microsoft-Windows-Server-Language-Pack_x64_en-gb.cab"

Both are failing, is their anything I'm missing?

    I fixed the issue. It was a syntax error in the command

    The correct command is as follows: DISM.exe /image:%OSDTargetSystemDrive%\ /ScratchDir:%OSDTargetSystemDrive%\windows\TEMP /Add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Server-Language-Pack_x64_en-gb.cab
