is there a way to transfer the game installations without having to re download and re install all the games on the new nand

To my knowledge there is no way to do it that would be easier than just reinstalling.

Those games are installed with specific tickets that are stored on the console. Even if you export those over to the other console, there is still the matter of the games which are stuck in the Nintendo folder which is also tied to a specific Nintendo Switch console.
