Obviously the advice below is general advice which is applicable to installing a supported OS.
The advice assumes there is nothing on the disk of any value - any data will be lost.
Trying to use a standard installer can get complicated if a disk has been used before.
In your situation, I would try to remove all the existing partitions.
This will give a blank page for the install software.
After booting the live media, run this command in a terminal
This will show the partition information of the SSD (and other block devices) which should make identifying the SSD partitions in the gparted GUI slightly easier.
Then run gparted. Ensure the 'scattered' 500GB disk is selected and that the partition pictogram matches that you saw in the terminal.
Right click on each existing partition pictogram in turn.
From the menu that appears select 'Delete'. This will 'queue' the action.
Repeat the right click and delete on the next partition pictogram.
Once all the partitions are queued for deleting, click 'Apply' and allow gparted to complete.
Then re-run the terminal command to confirm they are gone.
