The method for assign users to an application group can be found here, this includes the portal, PowerShell and CLI. More details about the ARM template format can be found here. You can try this format to see if it works for you:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "principalId": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Specifies the principal ID assigned to the role."
      }
    },
    "roleDefinitionId": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Specifies the role definition ID used in the role assignment."
      }
    },
    "applicationGroupName": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Specifies the name of the application group."
      }
    },
    "resourceGroupName": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Specifies the name of the resource group."
      }
    }
  },
  "resources": [
    {
      "type": "Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments",
      "apiVersion": "2022-04-01",
      "name": "[guid(parameters('principalId'), parameters('roleDefinitionId'), resourceGroup().id)]",
      "properties": {
        "roleDefinitionId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions', parameters('roleDefinitionId'))]",
        "principalId": "[parameters('principalId')]",
        "scope": "[resourceId('Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups', parameters('resourceGroupName'), parameters('applicationGroupName'))]"
      }
    }
  ]
}
