Hi Everyone,

How does one install a Traefik plugin for a k3 cluster w/ a Traefik ingess controller? I've updated the /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/traefik.yaml as follows:

```auto
    experimental:
      enabled: true
      plugins:
        enabled: true
        headerdump:
          moduleName: "github.com/jaybubs/headerdump"
          version: "v0.2.0"

```

I did a rolling restart of k3s cluster and the traefik deployment came back up. When I deployed a middleware w/ this plugin I got this error message:

```auto
plugin: unknown plugin type: headerdump

```

Any ideas?
