You are installing onto the Parent drive. If no drive is present try from Recovery running the First Aid

Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.

Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —

• Volume level

• Container level

• Parent drive

I just did this exact same thing. All you need to do is rename your ssd drive and then it will give you that option when reinstalling.
