How to change Search Display Template for Person Result Type

Question

I am trying to add a link to the Hover Panel of the People Item Display Template. I've can't change the Display Template for the Person Result Type. It seems you can't edit Result Types provided by the Search Service.

I can copy the Person Result Type, and make my changes, but how will the Search Result know to use my Result Type and not the default one?

Thanks!
