I could use some help setting up BTRFS timeshift backups

Greetings fellow humans, human fellas.

I’ve been trying to rename my /root and /home subvolumes to work with Timeshift.
Following this : Willi Mutschler guide on my encrypted install worked very well.
However, I am now not using an encrypted system, and I can’t seem to figure out the exact command I must use.
I am stuck at step 2

Mount the btrfs top-level root filesystem

Let’s mount our the top-level btrfs volume (which has always id 5):

mkdir /btrfs_pool
mount -o subvolid=5 /dev/mapper/luks-6e7e8f26-4f38-468e-aa2c-9ddaaad4aedf /btrfs_pool
ls /btrfs_pool
# home root

I am unsure what to replace /dev/mapper/luks-6e7e8f26-4f38-468e-aa2c-9ddaaad4aedf /btrfs_pool with.

[paul@localhost ~]$ mkdir /btrfs_pool
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/btrfs_pool’: File exists
[paul@localhost ~]$ sudo -i lsblk
[sudo] password for paul:

/dev/zram0: UUID="527355fd-4696-4f28-939a-14e2988025ef" TYPE="swap"

The above is my default system install. Which partiton must I use to follow the above guide?
Thank you all in advance.
I hope you have a splendid day.
