How to add a compact layout into a layout through metadata?

Hi, good morning. 
I created a compact layout but I want to add it into a layout.
I edited the standard object "Opportunity" adding: 
<compactLayouts>
<fullName>....</fullName>
<fields>...</fields>
</compactLayouts>
tags to add fields I made but I don't know where to add these elements in a page layout because some elements are distributed in differents tags like:
  
<layoutColumns>
            <layoutItems>
                <behavior>Edit</behavior>
                <field>.......</field>
            </layoutItems>
</layoutColumns>

Thanks for your time,
Regards.

Hi Dlego,
You can try this.

Compact layout can be retrieved using objectname . compact layout name api as shown below. here oppcompact is compact layout name. 
<types>
    <members>Opportunity.oppcompact</members>
    <name>CompactLayout</name>
  </types>
you can use https://packagebuilder.herokuapp.com/ to build your package.xml

Compact layouts are defined as part of the custom object, standard object, or external object definition.

You need to have it defined in the Object's metadata xml definition as below: 
<compactLayouts>
    <fullName>testCompactLayout</fullName>
    <compactLayoutItems>textfield__c</compactLayoutItems>
    <label>testCompactLayoutLabel</label>
</compactLayouts>
