Does your "register: file_stat" needs to be moved up to the file task?

What am I doing wrong?
I get the following error when trying to run my script below:
PLAY [Download and install RPMs from a local directory] ************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [Create directory if it does not exist] ***********************************
ok: [localhost]

This Ansible script loads the list of RPMs to download from a separate file
called "rpms.yml" using the vars_files directive. This file should be in the
same directory as the playbook and should be in YAML format.
The file should contain a list of RPMs names like this:
rpms:
- file1
- file2
- file3
Background on my script:
This Ansible script first uses the yum command to download the RPMs to a local
directory, it will also check if the file already exists in the directory
before downloading it, if it already exists it will skip the downloading task.
Once all the files are downloaded, it will use the yum command again to install
the RPMs from the local directory.
Please make sure to provide the correct path to the directory where you want to
store the RPMs, and the correct file names in the rpms.yml file.
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
