Custom post type URl Cutomization

Question

I am creating a custom CPT where I have customized CPT URL structure of CPT, I am using the rewrite rule for this but it is conflicting This is a Lessons CPT, I want to remove lessons from the URL and if any category or subcategory is selected in the post then the URL structure should be parent category/child-category/post name, I have also customized the category URL structure where I want to remove lesson-category in this example:- http://localhost/custom_theme/lesson-category/california/ the URL should be like this http://localhost/custom_theme/california/

I have Custom Lessons CPT where I want to customize the URl structure Here is the scenario:-

I want to remove the lesson in Custom CPT - http://localhost/custom_theme/lesson/paino_lesson/ the URL should be like this http://localhost/custom_theme/paino_lesson/

if any category or subcategory is selected in the post then the URL structure should be parent category/child category/post name,

I want to remove the lesson category in this example:- http://localhost/custom_theme/lesson-category/california/ the URL should be like this http://localhost/custom_theme/california/
