How do I properly set up my DNS entries to point to my LanCache Server

Hello everyone
I just installed OPNSense yesterday and up till now everything is really easy to do and the GUI is really good (former OpenWrt user here)
My current goal is to run the Unbound adblock extra plugin instead of per device adblock and to also have my LanCache Server be detected properly
Either of which I was able to set up individually but not together, so currently I can either have the adblocking or my LanCache server but never both at the same time

Any input will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I think I figured it out everyone (not sure if that is the proper way to do it but it does work as I want it to)

Basically youjust enable the forwarding mode in the Services>Unbound>General settings and set up the adblocking however you like after installing the os-unbound-plus plugin
Then for DNS assignment you go your respective IPv4 or v6 DHCP Page in Services>DHCPvX>[LAN]
From there you will find two text boxes for the DNS. That's where you need to enter your server's IP address(s)
