there are commands specifically intended to help with your use case.
from the help file:

   ^A-i
           Like their 'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any autoindent

   ^A-o
           or cmode setting is ignored for the duration of this insert.

   ^A-O
           These are most useful when pre-formatted text is being pasted, as
           when using a mouse.


the formatting is messed up.  that should look something like this:

   ^A-i
   ^A-o
   ^A-O    Like their 'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any autoindent
           or cmode setting is ignored for the duration of this insert.
           These are most useful when pre-formatted text is being pasted, as
           when using a mouse.
