This is a known issue and documented in the release notes:
‘If bring-up fails when deploying the second Platform Services Controller (psc-2), retrying bring-up will fail with the error Failed to apply default vSAN policy
. The cause is that the original deployment of psc-2 was not removed from the vCenter Server inventory.’

Delete the orphaned psc-2:
Rename the remaining psc-2 by removing the (1) as per this example vcf3xpsc02 (1) gets renamed to vcf3xpsc01:
Retry bring-up is successful:
