echo ":1:USER"  >> /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users

This is incorrect. It should be:

echo ":1=$USER"  >> /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users

$USER will be expanded to your username.

Also, output redirection isn't performed by sudo. So sudo cat won't work.
What works for me:

sudo bash -c "cat <<EOF > $HOME/.vnc/config
session=\$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP
geometry=1920x1080
localhost=no
alwaysshared
EOF"

as always, ymmv
