Follow below steps.

Create a new username and passwd
Create vnc passwd using command 'vncpasswd'
Create a config file in ~.vnc/ and session=gnome
Add new user in this file /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users with port number eg: 1,2 etc.

And then do:

# rm -rf /tmp/.X11*
# systemctl enable vncserver@:.service
# systemctl start vncserver@:.service
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=(5900+port number)/tcp
# firewall-cmd --reload

systemctl start vncserver@:1
Job for vncserver@:1.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status vncserver@:1.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
How do I correct this error.
