Creating a shortcut to execute a program with command-line parameters in Inno Setup

I have a problem and I am doing a custom installer for a program, the original installer program creates a shortcut on the desktop and the target of the shortcut is the following:

"C:\Program Files\Soft name\soft.exe" -soft run

In Inno Setup script I am using the following:

Name: "{commondesktop}\Soft name"; Filename: "{app}\soft.exe" -soft run; \
    IconFilename: {app}\icon.ico;

And this is the error that causes when I run the compiler to create the installer:

Mismatched or misplaced quotes on parameter "Filename"

I have managed to correct the error but when the shortcut is created on the desktop, it appears without a target and does not find the exe of the program.

Important:

The direct access target should be the following because the program needs it like this:

"C:\Program Files\Soft name\soft.exe" -soft run

How can I make the shortcut target created by Inno Setup be this way?

"C:\Program Files\Soft name\soft.exe" -soft run

Command-line parameters of the shortcut target program go to Parameters parameter:

[Icons]
Name: "{commondesktop}\Soft name"; Filename: "{app}\soft.exe"; \
    Parameters: "-soft run"; IconFilename: {app}\icon.ico;
