Once you're done, scroll down to the bottom and hit Save





Step 4 - Search for and click on the Edit a Package option in WHM





Step 5 - Select the Package you want that Feature List assigned to and click Edit





Step 6 - Select the newly created feature from the Feature List (it will be appended to start with your whm username) and hit Save Changes




Step 7 - The last step is to reapply the package. Find the Modify/Upgrade Multiple Accounts option in WHM






Now, select the Domains/cPanel accounts you want to apply Let's Encrypt for, chose the package (even if it's the same package they're currently on) and hit Change




The Packages will be refreshed and Let's Encrypt will be applied. Note that the script which checks for and applies Let's Encrypt certificates runs between midnight and 6 am every night so you may have to wait up to 24hrs for the certificate to be applied.
