errorlayoutmagento2

I have tried setting below code but i get the below error.

<head>
    <link rel="canonical" src="https://www.example.com/" src_type="url"/>
</head>

Please correct the XML data and try again. Element 'head': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( referenceContainer, container, update, move ). Line: 1

Set homepage canonical url with theme:

  1. app/design/frontend/[VendorName]/[themename]/Magento_Cms/layout/cms_index_index.xml
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>
        <link rel="canonical" src="https://www.example.com" src_type="url" />
    </head>
</page>

OR

Set homepage canonical url with module:

  1. app/code/[VendorName]/[ModuleName]/registration.php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    '[VendorName]_[ModuleName]',
    __DIR__
);
  1. app/code/[VendorName]/[ModuleName]/etc/module.xml
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="[VendorName]_[ModuleName]" setup_version="1.0.0"/>
</config>
  1. app/code/[VendorName]/[ModuleName]/view/frontend/layout/cms_index_index.xml
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>
