I also had similar problem and had to write small wrapper. If you want
one more example to look at you can find source code here:

https://git.launchpad.net/prometheus-pushgateway-snap/tree/

There is an enhancement request in launchpad where we asked for a
standard way to deploy initial config files without need for every snap
to ship with custom wrappers:

If that would help you you can mark the bug as affecting you to let
developers know.
