how do I this?
Install
https://www.realvnc.com/download/vnc/windows/ on the Windows
side. (Use the supplied client SW)
Install tigervnc-server on fedora. From there you can either decide if
you want to have a user invoke the server from say a terminal or ssh
session or to make it a system service by following the directions in
/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service.
Other documentation exists online like

Odd...

so it doesn't tell anything about whats going wrong?
No, there is no clear indication from the logs that I can see pointing
out the problem.
I did things slightly different than what was called out in the link you
initially supplied.
The steps taken were...
dnf -y install xrdp
firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
systemctl enable xrdp
systemctl start xrdp
I don't like to start a service without the proper firewall rules in
place first.
FWIW, have you tried stopping/starting xrdp? Also, in reading some
posts found by searching about your issue I see that some people had to
try connecting twice before they a working connection.
You may also want to check to see if you have any errors reported in you
~/.vnc directory.
