I just had a similar issue - installing bookworm, raspberry pi lite 32bit on a zero W.
Tried 2 Rpi boards, 2 sd cards, multiple wifi networks, nothing - even after leaving fresh install alone for an hour or two.
I just went and bought a usb-ethernet adapter and got in straight away. Hostname set correctly, password set correctly, ssh enabled - but the wireless config was in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
nmtui had no record of the wifi at all, and nothing under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
The image was created using rpi-imager on a freshly updated Ubuntu 22.04
Package: rpi-imager
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.7.2+noembed-0ubuntu1
