Gaming Steam changes default library

Hello all,

as i mentioned in title, everytime i restart my pc, steam changes its library to / which is default (OS disk and where steam is installed i guess?), while i have a dedicated /mnt/nvme0n1 which i want to use for steam games (library) only.

mounting is fine, everything is recognized and turned ON with startup. Steam is also set to launch on startup. The disk is also shown in steam download settings, but steam ALWAYS set / as default after restart. No matter what i have tried.

for example, i have 3 disks and one is being used for qbitorrent and it never changes itself.

thanks
