The “openssh-service-type” has a default value
“(openssh-configuration)”.  If you want to override parts of the default
configuration you can use the “modify-services” syntax.  Your second
snippet is incorrect, because “service” expects a type and a
configuration value, but you gave it a type and “(port-number 12121)”,
which is not a valid configuration.
