set default reviewers for pull requests globally

Is there a way that I can set 3 reviewers for all protected branches (we have 5) globally without having to go into all of our 40+ repositories and doing it for 4 branches each?    I tried to do this with manage repositories and then all repositories but the reviewers I added dont show in the individual repos when I drill down.  I need this so my merge automation works and approvers are already set as reviewers.

    $mergeReposFile = Join-Path $PWD.Path ".\mergeReposInfo.json"

    $DevOpsOrganization = "https://dev.azure.com/company"
    $DevOpsProject = "Company"
    $Reviewers = "email address removed for privacy reasons"

    foreach ($repoitem in $mergeRepos.repositories) {


    $repositoryName = $repoitem.name
    Write-Output "Repository: $repositoryName "
    $repositoryID= $repoitem.id


    $AppliedPolicy = az repos policy required-reviewer create `
