how to set STM32 HAL FreeRTOS timer period?

I am working with the HAL RTOS generated through cube and generally speaking, so far so good. I am used to using FreeRTOS but am a little stumped with this HAL RTOS, more specifically the timers. I have generated the code from cube and it looks exactly like the example code here (pg 20)

My problem is that I don't know how to set/adjust a timer's period, as the osTimerCreate function does not take a period like the classic FreeRTOS function xTimerCreate.

Cheers

Figured it myself, it was a problem with the configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY in the RTOSconfig. Once it was increased both the OG xTimerCreate and HAL methods worked.
