Creating a dashboard layout component via API

Hi I’m working with the API and found that all Dashboard Objects (Filters, Elements and Layout) have a create function EXCEPT the Layout Component. This creates a huge barrier to creating a Dashboard from the API as I can’t order the elements. I would do it with create_dashboard_layout() but as the class WriteDashboardLayout ignores dashboard_layout_components  I can’t seem to use the workaround.
Is there an alternative way to achieve this? (Styling my Dashboards elements)
Are there plans to add this function in the future?

Thank you very much!
