Uninstall and install module may delete configuration along with contents. This will allow you to recreate or install everything in the config/install folder of your custom module:

\Drupal::service('config.installer')->installDefaultConfig('module', $module);

*where $module is your module machine name.

This can be run with drush eval or drush php.

ie:

drush php-eval "\Drupal::service('config.installer')->installDefaultConfig('module', 'my_module_name');"
