Why? What do you hope to achieve by putting the database in a another
place in the directory tree? Other then the fact itself. And then where?

Anyway all mysql/mariadb databases WILL be in the same location. The
only way to separate on the same machine is to run multiple
independent instances, isolated from each other. This means among
other things different ports or multiple ip-addresses.
I do not know if that is at all possible, but it would be a challenge.
