Priority set for latex manager in VSCode to read sty files

Question

I am kind of new with Visual studio code, the basics that I have understood so far is that path definition, environment setup and installation on host machine is important.

Regarding the use of .sty files in latex manager, I am bit unsure of the priority set of reading files from different directories. There are three possibilities:

1. sty files and modified moderncv in the same directory as .tex file
2. sty files and modified moderncv in /home/user/texmf/tex/latex/local directory
3. latex manager read it from texlive installation on host machine /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/moderncv/moderncviconssymbols.sty

As far as I have understood, option (1) here has the priority, then (2) and then (3), could someone please confirm that?

Now, here is my main issue, I got my copy of moderncv.cls, which I copied to both location (1) as well as (2), however latex manager keep sending me following error message [A], since its reading the moderncv from the location (3).

For Latex Manager, I installed texlive on host machine (Ubuntu 22.04) by following this [B], section for tl;dr: Unix(ish) and set the PATH in .profile as

## For VSCode to read the path of the texLive
export PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH"
export TEXMFHOME="/home/user/texmf"

The settings.json of Latex Manager project is here [C], though I defined .env variable, did not bring any change.

I have already did enough google without any success. There was this page on stackexchange [D], however did not take me any further. If someone could point me to the right direction, would be great. If more information is needed, please do let me know.

Thanks,

[D] How can I get VSCode's LaTeX Workshop to find the right installation of TeX?
