If you're looking to manually set your gas fees, there are different ways to do so depending on whether you're in MetaMask Extension or in the Mobile app.
Regardless of the version of MetaMask you're using, keep this in mind:
The gas limit
The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas you are willing to spend in order to carry out a transaction or EVM operation.
The max priority fee
The max priority fee, also referred to as the "miner tip", goes to the miner or validator, and incentivizes them to prioritize your transaction. Most often, the value you put in for "max priority fee" will be the amount you pay.
The max fee
The max fee is the total, global amount paid for your transaction: base fee + priority fee.
