Click the Domains item in Plesk’s main menu,
Select domain:
Click on SSL/TLS Certificates > Add SSL/TLS Certificate:
Enter a Certificate Name e.g. pl-services_ssl
Upload Text:
When uploading by Text you need to copy/paste the code.

Click Upload Certificate to upload the certificate.
Assign the certificate to your domain
Now we need to assign the newly installed SSL to the hosting for your domain to activate it.
Click on Hosting Settings:
Under the Security section and to the right of Certificate select the SSL you have just installed from the drop down field:
Click OK to save. You will now have the uploaded SSL certificate applied to your website.
Note: You will need to close your browser and re-open it again to force it to load the new certificate.
