You need to put two slashes \\ in place of each \ in the path, since \ is an escape character.

I assume you were following these instructions?

As you can see there the line "field-corners": { is needed before top-left. The json you posted above is not valid, you can tell by the unmatching brackets.

To @PeterJohnson point I would recommend not including the path and instead just using the filename and placing the file in the game directory

Do you have any additional questions about this? If not I will close this issue soon.
