Rather than a using rpm -qa list, I use
rpm --qf "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" -qa
I use a script listrpm to make a listing
#!/usr/bin/bash
rpm --qf "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" -qa | sort | grep -v gpg-pubkey >

Then you can copy the file, and run dnf install with that piped into it.
Also, do this if I create a machine with a clean install of an OS, and then
want to add the missing packages. Sometimes get errors on packages that
might no longer be available, but then just delete those lines from file.
Good Luck.
