This is trying to put the header in the runtime package (ie the
package containing files which typically end up in the target rootfs).
Header files should be in the ${PN}-dev package instead.

Since the default packaging rules already cover header files, you
don't actually need to add anything here in order to have the header
packaged correctly - just remove that line.

Note that you also tried to use _append without a leading space -
which is wrong in this context (it's wrong in almost every context).
