Enabling transparent data encryption on Azure Managed Database

Databases on Azure Managed Instance are encrypted by default. And these dbs have service-managed Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). One of our databases is a restored database from a .bak file, and hence its *Encryption Enabled* property was set to False. We want this database to be encrypted, as well. Can we enable this database just by setting *Encryption Enabled* to True?. Will it cause any issues? Are there any other steps that need to be performed to encrypt this database? We heard you have to create a Master Key etc. but for all our other databases that have service-managed TDE, we don't see any Master Key.
