systemd file and non-default GnuPG home directory

I use a non-default GnuPG home directory, $HOME/.config/gnupg. Gnupg is aware of this folder and works fine.
Reading the wiki about gpg-agent, it is specified that in case of non-default home directory I shall edit the ListenStream  of the systemd .socket files. Concretely, for gpg-agent.socket i need to modify this line:  ListenStream=%f/S.gpg-agent. I can't figure out how to replace the line in my case.
Thank you for help

Re: systemd file and non-default GnuPG home directory

Maybe a simpler idea: symbolic link: ln -s
pointing from  $HOME/gnupg to $HOME/.config/gnupg

A drop-in file seems the best solution .
Note that the link describes that process for system services, not user services .

Try something like systemctl edit --user gpg-agent.socket --drop-in=change_gpg_listenstream .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
