c# httpcontent - add Header If-Match errors

Question

adding new header "If-Match"

 using (HttpContent content = new StringContent(serializedObject))
        {
            content.Headers.Remove("Content-Type");
            content.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
            content.Headers.Remove("If-Match");
            content.Headers.Add("If-Match", "XXXXXXXXXX");
        }

throws :

Misused header name. Make sure request headers are used with HttpRequestMessage, response headers with HttpResponseMessage, and content headers with HttpContent objects.

i can add any other headers fine

you're setting a response header, but using a request header reserved word? — user326608, Jun 05 '19 at 15:27
the api im working with requires the If-Match to be put in the header for the PUT — Samw, Jun 05 '19 at 15:31
