I haven't figured that one out myself, what I have been doing while testing is while connected to PC doing adb reboot recovery

Inactive slot is usually b on stock so it's fastboot flash boot_b and path to boot img is where you downloaded TWRP -_-

if you put twrp into adb folder and run terminal/cmd/powershell from that folder then you can just do fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img you just need to rename boot.img to twrp.img

Great this what i exactly looking for and it works and btw i figured also out howto reboot into recovery.

When the device boots up keep pressing volume down
And when you want to reboot to system, tap on slot a and boot to system otherwise it keep stay on the b slot and you will reboot into twrp again, so tap on slot a before you boot into system 🫡
