Can you?  Probably yes.  But it would probably be quicker and easier
to do a fresh install.  As discussed in a recent thread after cloning
you would have to make sure all the grub bits are updated with correct
UUIDs.  You would also have to rebuild initramfs, etc.

If you are wanting to preserve user data, just re-create the user
making sure the uid:gid are the same, and then mount the home
directory from the USB drive under /mnt and then (as root) copy to the
NVMe drive.

If you are worried about missing a software package, you can make a
list of installed rpms on the USB drive and use it to confirm the new
install isn't missing anything that was on the USB.
