declaimed the following:

>In order to select to install for all users, I had to choose custom

That default path (Program Files) might (I say "might" since I've never
installed a Python in that location) cause some complications -- Being a
system protected directory, it is read-only. Installing modules "for all
users" via PIP may not be possible -- pip may instead install in the
logged-in user's "appdata" directory.

Putting Python at the root level (C:\Python39 in your example) allows
it to globally writable, allowing pip to update the site-packages
directory.

{No doubt someone will chime in that there is some magic that allows
pip to install modules for all users even if Python is in a protected
directory}
