FWIW, some years back I did (more than once) install Fedora onto
a USB stick using an normal install procedure. all I had to do was
be sure to specify the right device for the USB stick so I didn't
wipe out the installed system on the computer.
This was probably back around Fedoraaa 11-13 or thereabouts, and
I h aven't kept up with Fedora for the last few years, but there is
no reason THAT I KNOW OF why it wouldn't still work.
By "normal install procedure" I assume you mean you were able to
boot some installation media. Since the OP can't boot the live media,
the "normal install procedure" isn't available.
It may be possible to create a new ISO image with extra grub options
mentions adding persistent storage to a live USB which might be helpful for saving logs, etc.
