Same goes for sensitivity labels for a new site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-teams-groups-sites?view=o365-worldwide#apply-a-sensitivity-label-to-a-new-site
Or changing a sensitivity label for an existing site through the SharePoint Admin Center: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-teams-groups-sites?view=o365-worldwide#view-and-manage-sensitivity-labels-in-the-sharepoint-admin-center
