Your line here doesn't include spaces at the start of the line. Your regex
wants minimum 1 and maximum 12 spaces to match. The regex will never find the
line after replacing it once, if I read this correctly.

If you're able to manage a single line with this string in a file with no other
lines, that may help show what's going on?
This may assist with regexes in puppet:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_datatypes.html#regular-expressions
And this manifest:
if ' ' =~ /\s/ {
notice('matches #1!')
}
if ' ' =~ /\s{1,12}/ {
notice('matches #2!')
}
if '<' =~ /\s{1,12}/ {
notice('matches #3!')
}
For me it only prints about the match for 1 and 2, not 3.
