How to fix the syntax error in AzurePowerShell pipeline task?

Question

I am trying to deploy a self-signed certificate by using the following pipeline task:

  - task: AzurePowerShell@5
    inputs:
      azureSubscription: '${{ parameters.ArmConnection }}'
      ScriptType: 'InlineScript'
      azurePowerShellVersion: '2.6.0'
      Inline: |
      $Pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String '1234' -Force -AsPlainText
      $Base64 = 'MI..............3000.characters.here............M+wICB9A='
      Import-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName '${{ parameters.resourceGroupName }}''-my-keyvault' -Name ccg-self-signed-cert -CertificateString $Base64 -Password $Pwd

The 3 Powershell commands listed above work well for me at the PowerShell command prompt.

But when I try run the above pipeline, I get the syntax error:

/pipelines/shared.yml: (Line: 164, Col: 11, Idx: 7111) - (Line: 164, Col: 11, Idx: 7111): While scanning a simple key, could not find expected ':'.

What is happening here please?

Is the line 164 with the code $Base64 = '.....' too long for a pipeline script?

Or do I have some other issue?

UPDATE:

After indenting the inline script (thanks, Mathias,), I get another error: surprisingly talking about a "hostname":

Is -VaultName '${{ parameters.resourceGroupName }}''-my-keyvault' a correct way to prepend RG name (passed as param) to the string "-my-keyvault"?

UPDATE 2:

Using -VaultName '${{ parameters.resourceGroupName }}-my-keyvault' has fixed my problem

I would advise on selecting enable system diagnostic and run pipeline one more to get more detailed info
