how to patch selector and label service name of deployment.yaml in kustomization.yaml

Question

My Setup: GitHub(Build Pipeline) + Kustomize + Kubernetes

Kustomize structure:

--base
----deployment.yaml
----service.yaml
----kustomizationn.yaml
--env-country1
----kustomizationn.yaml
--env-country2
----kustomizationn.yaml

Issue: I am trying to patch the spec.selector.matchLabels.service and spec.template.metadata.labels.service values present in the deployment.yaml in the base.

what I tried:

1. I tried to use patch like below:

   patches:
   - patch: |-
    - op: replace
     path: /metadata/name
     value: <serviceName>-<country>
    - op: replace
     path: /spec/selector/matchLabels/service
     value: <serviceName>-<country>
    - op: replace
     path: /spec/template/metadata/labels/service
     value: <serviceName>-<country>  
    target:
    kind: Deployment
   

Issue: these are immutable entities, hence can't be patched.

I also tried to research but was not able to find any related documentation with examples.

PS: I am not using helm.

Thanks in advance
