Sonata User Advanced Configuration - symfony

Question

I am trying to configure the advanced configuration of the SonataUser Bundle(https://sonata-project.org/bundles/user/3-x/doc/reference/advanced_configuration.html).
After following the documentation I get the following errors on installing assets:
[Symfony\Component\Config\Exception\FileLoaderLoadException]
There is no extension able to load the configuration for "jms_serializer" (in /var/www/html/SonataProject/app/config/config.yml). Looked for
namespace "jms_serializer", found "framework", "security", "twig", "monolog", "swiftmailer", "doctrine", "sensio_framework_extra", "fos_use
r", "sonata_core", "sonata_block", "knp_menu", "sonata_doctrine_orm_admin", "sonata_admin", "sonata_easy_extends", "sonata_user", "debug", "
web_profiler", "sensio_distribution" in /var/www/html/SonataProject/app/config/config.yml (which is being imported from "/var/www/html/Sonat
aProject/app/config/config_dev.yml").
After I comment out jms_serializer configuration, I get another error:
[Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Exception\InvalidTypeException]
Invalid type for path "sonata_user.profile.dashboard.blocks.position". Expected array, but got string
Here is my config.yml:

Any ideas??
EDIT:
For the second error I tried editing the sonata_user.profile.dashboard.blocks as follows:
blocks:
type: ~
settings:
position: right
# Prototype
id: []
I am not sure if this is correct configuration but the error goes away.
Awaiting response!

Answer 1

Look at the doc the position is indented differently :
blocks:
type: ~
settings:
# Prototype
id: []
position: right
In yours, position is just under the id... Might be that
