Welcome to the confusing naming schemes of these tools. You're correct
that the command is "ansible-galaxy collections. But they wind up
installed in a directory called "ansible_collecitons", which adds to
the confusion.

I suggest going to the actual available source at:
https://github.com/ansible-collections/
And for comparison to what is in the much, much too large "ansible" tarball:
https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/7/ansible-7.1.0.deps
I'd install only those you need. And I'd *definitely* leave out the
Fortinet modules, which are *huge*. They're roughly 150 MBytes of the
total 300 MBytes of the current "ansible" deployment.
