I already told you the solution to that.

There is a priority system in network manager.

Otherwise it will connect to whatever it connected to last time, or
sometimes not

If you have more than one connection profile use:

sudo nmcli c modify MYCONNECTIONNAME   connection.autoconnect-priority 1

Randomly created connections are default priority zero

This is also an accessible parameter from the GUI widget if you have a
GUI interface

It will then at least try only that SSID *first*

Or delete any alternative connection profiles

Except it doesn't actually work all the time. I've set up all my Pi's
which have both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi with a higher priority to the
5GHz network which has a different SSID to the 2.4 GHz one. Most of the
time they honour that but occasionally I find one has switched back to
2.4 GHz, and it's not because the 5GHz signal strength has dropped
according to the logging.

Network manager has not yet reached the required level of stability.
