Again: if you do a new foreman installation on a new server a new key will be generated in /var/lib/foreman-proxy/ssh/id_rsa_foreman_proxy and var/lib/foreman-proxy/ssh/id_rsa_foreman_proxy.pub. As it’s a new server and a new key which isn’t used anywhere else, yet, you can always replace that key with the one you already have.

The ssh/script proxy plugin reads its configuration from /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/remote_execution_ssh.yml. That should contain the name of the key file it uses.

Of course, that file is (over)written by foreman-installer. To change that permanently you should use foreman-installer options:

# foreman-installer --help
...
