That is not a proper way to do it. It will be rewritten at updates anyway. Create your own theme inside your home directory.
~/.local/share/shounds/YourSoundThemeName

Inside it you should have the index.theme file, with this description:

[Sound Theme]
Name=YourSoundThemeName
Comment="whatever description you want for it"
Directories=stereo

[stereo]
OutputProfile=stereo

Inside the directory stereo you place your custom *.oga files or whatever format… Then open Tweaks and select YourSoundThemeName.
In order to hear feedback sounds you have to enable it with this commands from terminal:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds "true"

and

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/sound/input-feedback-sounds "true"

If you want to disable feedback sounds all together, run:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/sound/event-sounds "false"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/sound/input-feedback-sounds "false"
