Creating new folder if one does not exist

Hi everyone. I am struggling with creating a new folder in sharepoint using Power Automate. The flow up to that point works, where it is checking to see if the folder exists, and if it does not, I want to create one. The problem is quite basic...in the List or Library part of the Create New Folder, it only autopopulates SP Lists, it will not populate a Library. The only folder it shows is Documents, but I need a sub folder. I have tried typing it in directly as Shared Documents/NSO and NCO/NSOHoursSubmissions but no luck, I have tried using the URL, but no dice.

Any guidance would be great, thanks!!

Chris

Thank you @SudeepGhatakNZ for your response. Here is that I had to do. The List or Library field is set to Documents, and that the folder path is hardcoded in the beginning, and dynamically for the new folder name
Hope this helps @ridwan316
