If I am reading between your lines, guess the intention is to use the External Samsung T7 SSD as the Main Bootable Drive and install Monterey to that drive ?
Predicated on that being the case - doing so will be problematic at Best
Boot from External Drive in Monterey - Apple Community
iMac 2019 5K retina won't boot from SSD drive now that I've updated it to Monterey!!
Cannot upgrade to Monterey with non-apple SSD.
Booting from An External Drive with Monterey is problematic at best.
This became more evident after and around Monterey 12.3 and above
This does not mean it can not be done but . . is a challenge.
