You should:

cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:#.service

Where # is the vnc port 590# to open.  Like /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service to start a vncserver on port 5904.

Then use `systemctl start vncserver@:4' to start that VNC server.  Remember to edit the /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service file's <USER> as you did before.
