Drupal redirect to web folder – Apache

I’m trying to configure redirects on a drupal site using apache web server. I’m trying to implement this https://www.symphonythemes.com/drupal-blog/remove-web-part-composer-based-drupal-site but I cannot seem to get it working. I have several drupal sites running in /var/www/html/drupal. My drupal configuration in my httpd.conf files are

- name: create drupal httpd conf
    copy:
      content: |
               <VirtualHost *:80>
                 ServerName qsd
                 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/drupal
                 <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymlinks
                    AllowOverride All
                 </Directory>
               </VirtualHost>
      dest: /etc/httpd/conf.d/drupal.conf

and

- name: allow override /var/www/html
    copy:
      content: |
                <Directory "/var/www/html">
                  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
                  AllowOverride All
                  Require all granted
                </Directory>
      dest: /etc/httpd/conf.d/app.conf

I’ve added

if ( isset($GLOBALS['request']) && '/web/index.php' === $GLOBALS['request']->server->get('SCRIPT_NAME') ) {
    $GLOBALS['request']->server->set('SCRIPT_NAME', '/index.php');
}

to my settings.php.

Now I’m trying to get my .htaccess files correct for my drupal app which is in /var/www/html/drupal/app. In /var/www/html/drupal/app/.htaccess I have

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect to the subdirectory because that's where Drupal is installed
RewriteBase /app
RewriteRule (.*) web/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

In var/www/html/drupal/app/web/.htaccess I have

RewriteBase /web

When I visit https://example.com/app I get redirected to my OIDC provider but the redirect_uri is missing the /app. And when I visit https://example.com/app/user/login I get a 404, but prior to adding .htaccess https://example.com/app/web/user/login was working. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    I needed to change var/www/html/drupal/app/web/.htaccess to

    RewriteBase /app/web

    and settings.php to

    if ( isset($GLOBALS['request']) && '/app/web/index.php' === $GLOBALS['request']->server->get('SCRIPT_NAME') ) {
    $GLOBALS['request']->server->set('SCRIPT_NAME', '/app/index.php');
}

    But I think creating a virtual host for each site would allow the original configuration to work as @2pha suggested

    I avoid tampering with the server settings or writing redirects when installing Drupal 8+. I make what is called a ‘modified install’. This enables me to stop project initiation mid way to tell Composer where to install Drupal, i.e. to tell Composer what my web-root is, so it doesn’t go ahead to assume it is ‘web/’.

    If you are using shared hosting then most likely your web-root will be ‘public_html’ and if you don’t make a modified install, Composer will assume it is ‘web/’. So I would make a modified install and tell Composer not to install Drupal inside ‘web’ but rather to install inside ‘public_html’.

    I wrote the steps on a blog post, How to install Drupal 9 with Composer on Cpanel. This post is about installing on a cPanel account but the process demonstrates making a modified install, and same principle can be used to install locally or in any folder structure.
