Did you try letting the installer automatically create the partitions?

Then it shouldn't be wanting a biosboot partition.

I missed that part. That will be difficult. It will overwrite the
UEFI boot entry of the other Fedora.

The installer does not show what it is doing with the drive. Only choice
is "begin installation". Had to modify the drive to create some free
space. The install then proceeded. Created a /boot/efi partition and
/boot partition with the rest of the free space as a lvm2 pv. The system
is in a a 16G logical volume. The install of grub2 picked up Windows 10
and the Fedora 35 in grub2.cfg from the other drives. Filesystem is XFS.
Exploring the details.
