HI Cat, from this documentation, https://arches3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/arches-data/#from-shapefile, it looks like you should just put 'GEOMETRY.E1' in there for everything. If you want to map the "GEOMETRY_TYPE_QUALIFIER.E55" for each polygon, you need to add a field in the shapefile, and then make the appropriate reference in the field mapping property of the .config file. The values in your shapefile field should be "GEOM_TYPE:1" based on your geometry type authority document, not "perimeter".
Just a word of warning, I had issues when I tried using the shapefile upload, as I documented a while ago <https://github.com/archesproject/arches/issues/227>. I haven't tried again since, so I don't know if any work has been done to improve that function.
