You can verify the actual install directory by opening the Steam client and navigating to Settings > Storage.

Finding the install directory in Steam storage settings.

You can add external storage libraries as you normally would through Steam Settings > Storage, but the snap is restricted to libraries located in ~, /media, /run/media, or /mnt.

This same restriction applies to adding non-Steam games.
