mdadm configuration

I have posted a request for assistance regarding how to enable mdadm to assemble / activate on boot.
I am sorry but I cannot find my original post.
I have received several answers but NONE of them helped me to set the mdadm to assemble or activate on boot.

I have no issues doing it manually.

Even after checking the mdadm man I have no idea how to instruct mdadm.conf to assemble on boot.

There is also something odd in the attached mdadm.conf - it shows only 1 spare.

I have added another "spares" and mdadm confirmed my additions.

Is there a manual way to "update" the mdamd.conf file ?
