I presume you mean source file directory?

This should place this content at the end of the <head> entity, but it
must produce valid html, which this doesn't.  If this is meant to be
CSS it needs to be in a style tag and doesn't look correct to me.

(I'm assuming the leading * isn't in your file.)

Well, thats the definition of the [+header] syntax, to append.

There is no way to put anything inside another section, you have to
copy the whole [header] section and add these lines in the right
place, presumably after the "author", "email" etc spans.

Yep, afraid so.
