I want to inject this variable in jinja2 template with the same formant but it change the \n to new line which causes the config problem on the destination.

Is there any specific format settings that I can use that it will not replace \n into new lines and keep the same formatting.
Since it looks like you're using Ansible, you have a few options. You can serialize the string as JSON using the to_json filter:
- copy:
dest: out1.yaml
content: |
private_key: {{ PRIVATE_KEY|to_json }}
That gets you:
private_key: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nnyRFqZbDSvw37...EgH2ZuXqSPcTB\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
Or you can create a properly formatted YAML literal block:
- copy:
dest: out2.yaml
content: |
private_key: |
{{ PRIVATE_KEY|indent(2, first=False) }}
That gets you:
private_key: |
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
