ganeshsanap I use FLOW and the Send an HTTP request to first create each group and then associate a role definition with each group.
I then run the following powershell script:

$Owners_group = $site_name + ' Owners'
$Members_group = $site_name + ' Members'
$Visitors_group = $site_name + ' Visitors'

Set-PnpGroup -Identity $Owners_group -SetAssociatedGroup Owners -Owner $Owners_group
Set-PnpGroup -Identity $Members_group -SetAssociatedGroup Members -Owner $Owners_group
Set-PnpGroup -Identity $Visitors_group -SetAssociatedGroup Visitors -Owner $Owners_group

I also tried adding the -AddRole parameter as shown in the link you mentioned to no avail.
