React Native: How should I incorporate this code snippet into my existing AndroidManifest.xml?

Question

In my React Native app, I need to add the following code to my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest ...>
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <data android:scheme="https"/>
        </intent>
    </queries>
</manifest>

My AndroidManifest.xml file currently looks like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.intowconnect">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_STATE" />

    <application
      android:name=".MainApplication"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:allowBackup="false"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
        android:launchMode="singleTop"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
      </activity>
      <activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
    </application>

</manifest>

I'm not sure how to incorporate the code snippet into this. Is there a place I can just insert the <queries> block? Or do I need to change the format of my existing file?

Pre Requirement for Android Studio

Android Studio version minimum 4.1.3 with Gradle Plugin 6.8.2

For use queries you should write queries code in out of application tag not inside application tag

<manifest ...>
<application .... />
<queries>
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <data android:scheme="https"/>
    </intent>
</queries>
</manifest>
