Install plugin with preconfigurations

Hi, I’m installing this plugin on a series of websites and I want to avoid configuring it each time. I have tried to programmatically configure it in my code by setting the model_post_gallery option in the wp_options table. This is my code:

update_option('model_post_gallery',
	     '{ "can_enqueue": 0,
	       "types": ["custom-post-type"],
               "metabox_context": "advanced",
               "metabox_priority": "default",
               "ID": "post_gallery"
               }',
              true);

This returns unpredictable results though. While it changes the options checkbox display, it doesn’t necessarily have an effect on which post types the gallery metabox will show. Is there a better way to programmatically configure the plugin? Thanks!
