MCC offers to set a new Mount point, what should that be for normal external sdd/nvme?
I have a btrfs formatted HDD in an USB enclosure, which doesn't show on dolphin, so no access

There is no general rule. You can chose whatever you want.
Examples are:
/mnt/data
/data
/whateveryouwant
/mnt/whateveryouwant

What would a mount point that dolphin or system tray will recognize /var which I think is the current mount point doesn't work?
I don't see a way to determine the current mount point other than MCC>local disks> mount point & hope what's filled in is the current

Best try using lsblk in a terminal it will show the mountpoint in the rightmost column. Another option would be findmnt or mount
