Lovelace manual setup and call-service woes

Hi, first time poster and quite new to Home Assistant. So hopefully I’m not breaking any site etiquette with this post (and sorry for the long post).

I’m currently converting my Hue and Smartlife devices to Home Assistant through hass.io. I’m having a issue about controlling lights in Lovelace. I want to use a floor layout and position my lights at their corresponding location and it is working Ok but I’m having issues controlling the lights that allow dimming that way. Below is the floor plan for my ground floor.

And Below is the curated version of the Lovelace script (only get the dimer to make things easier to read.

script:
  g_bright_mode:
    sequence:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data_template:
          entity_id: '{{ input_light }}'
          brightness: 255
          color_temp: 226
elements:
  - entity: light.lumieredimmertest
    filter: saturate(.8)
    image: /local/lightbulb_on.png
    state_filter:
      'on': brightness(120%) saturate(1.2)
      style:
        left: 62%
        top: 13%
    state_image:
      'off': /local/lightbulb_off.png
      unavailable: /local/lightbulb_unavailable.png
    style:
      left: 62%
      rotate: 90
      top: 13%
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      service: script.g_bright_mode
      service_data:
        input_light: light.lumieredimmertest
    type: image

image: /local/PlanRDC.png
type: picture-elements

The tap action is working fine but the hold action is returning "Failed to call service script/g_bright_mode. Service not found.

You’ll see the script is there above the elements. I Tried to move it below as well as move it into scripts.yaml. To no avail, I can’t get it to work. If I replace “service: script.g_bright_mode” with “service:light.turn_on”, and change “input_light” for “entity_id”, I get instead “Failed to call service light/turn_on. must contain one of entity_id, area_id”.

If I move the call-service in the tap action instead of hold, it behaves the same way so I don’t think it’s related to it being in the hold section.

I already spent several hours on this, trying different things (the name of the script is actually something I found in a post in this community) and I’m stuck and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

Edit: Replaced “service data” for “service_data”, copy/paste error.
