Oh, it's the same *name*.  Huh.  So, Mike, whatever you figured out in
2020, you entirely forgot, and now you're starting over in a new forum?

What are you actually trying to do?  If all you want are a bunch of
additional text consoles, you can simply increase the number of gettys
by editing the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file:

...
# See logind.conf(5) for details.

[Login]
#NAutoVTs=6
...

By default, there are 6 gettys available (tty1 through tty6), but you
can increase the number here.  Or decrease it, in theory, but I can't
imagine too many uses for that.
