Some Properties not loaded from server - spring-boot

Question

So I have been learning microservices with Spring Cloud for a while. I have correctly configured the config server but some properties like the server port and the actuator endpoints are not loaded from config repo. I am obliged to set them locally(which removes the centralized advantage of config server).
For example this is the property file in config repo for a service:
eureka.instance.prefer-ip-address= true
eureka.client.register-with-eureka= true
eureka.client.fetch-registry= true
eureka.client.service-url.defaultZone= http://localhost:8761/eureka/
server.port= 5555
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=health,info,routes
My Bootstrap.yml for the same service:
spring:
application:
name: licensingservice
cloud:
config:
uri: http://localhost:8888
This is my pom.xml

The Eureka properties are picked up but not the server port and actuator endpoints. I have already searched for the problem but no I have not found a solution to my problem.
Please can someone help me understand why.
Thank you.
