If you must run the system from USB, then do it as an installed system.
The live method either has no persistent storage or if you use an
overlay, there is a limit to how many changes you can make before it
runs out of space.
Assuming all the USB sticks are the same, my suggestion is to install
Fedora to one drive and configure it how you want it. Then use dd to
make an image of it and write that image to all the rest. If the drives
are not all exactly the same, then partition the first one to be the
smallest size of all the drives (or use the smallest drive) so that the
resulting image will fit on all of them.
