shrinking partition to move bazzite from sata ssd to nvme

I want to switch how my system is set up and having issues. Currently I have bazzite on an old sata ssd (1tb) and my old win 11 install on my nvme drive (512gb). I want to swap the drives to have bazzite on my nvme and windows on my sata ssd. How do I shrink the system partition so I can clone the ssd to the nvme drive? I tried it with KDE partition manager and with GParted on a live image but only get a nondescript error. I found this post about this topic that I have to "do it in / instead /sysroot" https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1274188425150464113 How would I go about doing that? edit1: I have backed up all my stuff edit2: so thanks to chatgpt I now know that I can use sudo btrfs filesystem resize -XXG / to reduce the partition size by xx GB. But this just sets the space as unallocated on the partition. How do I seperate the unallocated space from the partition? Just using GParted (as mr. gpt suggests) doesn't work
