Have you tried running the command as systemd tries to and see whether its successful or not. And if not, what you get as the output. From what I can tell, systemd is trying to start it but the underlying process bails out with retcode 1.

You should first try to run /opt/node_exporter/node_exporter --web.config=tls_config.yml --web.listen-address=:10020 --collector.processes --collector.systemd from the WorkingDirectory and as the user that the systemd service is configured to run as (likely root?)
