Is it a new ssd? have you ever written a partition type? either mbr or 
gpt? that often has to be done with new drives. You can boot gparted to 
do it.

Seems to me, a common thread in all this is that you are manually 
creating partitions.

Have you tried allowing ubuntu to create the partitions? I'm not a fan 
of LVM, so I tend to select 'use entire disk'. the one that wipes 
everything.

if it installs and boots, you can always reverse engineer how the ubuntu 
developers do it, and then create your own version.
