I have until now been running on Ubuntu servers 20.04 and lower, where I have used headless server settings, with SSH access, with specific ports for each server for terminal commands, and VNC with specific ports for remote desktop. I have used dconf-editor to make the listening ports for VNC. The ports are of course open in the firewall. The router is set up with port-forwarding to the different IP addresses. We are using TightVNC for windows clients.
Now I have installed a new Dell EMC server with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server, and it looks like I cannot use the dconf-editor to open the listening ports for VNC-server, at least I cant find the port under org>gnome>desktop>remote-access after installing dconf-editor.
Updated after answer from @harrymc
I have tried following without being able to change the listening port:
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/use_alternative_port true
gconftool-2 --set --type=int /desktop/gnome/remote_access/alternative_port 5555
xxx@xxxxx-srv05:~$ sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
[sudo] password for xxx:

I have tried several VNC servers with complete reinstallation, for avoiding conflicts, but right now I have installed xfce4 with TightVNC Server.
When I am finding instructions about this on the internet, the instructions are typically configured with SSH post 22 on a LAN, but not with port-forwardings to several machines and servers like I and many others prefer.
I am using port-forwarding to my SSH servers also.
What am I doing/thinking wrong here?
