To make a fret diagram for a higher fret, just use the desired fret and string number in the chord definition. You can add a fret diagram to the table as described in the paragraph beginning with "Fret diagrams can be added to the fret diagram table." If you want to have two alternative chord shapes and be free to choose between them, see the paragraph starting with "Different fret diagrams for the same chord name can be stored using different octaves of pitches." I'd suggest that you work your way carefully through section 2.4.1 of the Notation Reference, as well as the snippets found here: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/snippets/fretted-strings I think you will find that nearly every wish you might have for fret diagrams is supported by LilyPond.
