Configure model names from package?

I've setup spatie/laravel-permission to use UUIDs, this works fine as long as I include my custom Role/Permission models in config/permission.php.

However, I'm making a package and I'd like to do the configuration from my package provider:

$models = config('permission.models'); $models['permission'] = \ImperianSystems\CRM\Models\Permission::class; $models['role'] = \ImperianSystems\CRM\Models\Role::class; config(['permission.models'=>$models]);

Modifying config like this works for other things like auth.providers or auth.guards, but it doesn't work for permission.models.
In my code I print the current configuration and it shows that it is using my custom models, but when I actually try to add a role to a user it still uses Spatie's original model and I get an error because it treats role_id as an int instead of a UUID:

$u->assignRole('Administrator');

Illuminate\Database\QueryException with message 'SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (crm.model_has_roles, CONSTRAINT model_has_roles_role_id_foreign FOREIGN KEY ('role_id') REFERENCES roles ('id') ON DELETE CASCADE) (SQL: insert into model_has_roles ('model_id', 'model_type', 'role_id') values (0f987741-37bd-4e2a-bbbf-3909aeb42fa6, ImperianSystems\CRM\Models\User, 9))'

Also maybe you have to extend and overwrite

laravel-permission/src/PermissionServiceProvider.php

	$this->app->bind(PermissionContract::class, $config['permission']);
	$this->app->bind(RoleContract::class, $config['role']);
