I believe the problem is that you are trying to use a tuple in your YAML
file, and YAML doesn't support it.
You with_items should probably be:
with_items: - [["{{PRIVATE_KEY}}", "{{PRIVATE_KEY_FILE}}"]]
Due to how ansible collapses lists of lists in with_items, you have to
nest your list deeper.
Otherwise you could use a hash instead like (this is my preference):
with_items: - {key: "{{PRIVATE_KEY}}", file: "{{PRIVATE_KEY_FILE}}"}
Then reference item.key and item.file instead of list indexes.
