I want to selfhost a vpn (for personal use) that allows me to route
connections through a relay before sending traffic to the endpoint.

I want it to look something like this:

PC (Client) - Linux server (relay) - Windows server (endpoint)

I tried doing this with Tailscale and selfhosting a private relay
server (DERP), but I ran into some issues with installing the software
so I want to make sure that there aren’t any better solutions before
wasting more time trying to troubleshoot.

Sounds like you just need to install a VPN server on get relay. What
you’re describing is a VPN.

Assuming you can open ports on the Linux Server, just use WireGuard
and connect PC (Client) to Linux server using that. With correct
routing on the Linux Server traffic will flow to Windwos Server
(endpoint) just fine an dappear as if it's coming from the Linus
Server IP.

I’m trying to make the windows server the vpn server and the Linux
server a relay between the client and the vpn server. Sorry for not
making this clear in my post.

Sounds like an XY problem. You might get better advcie if you give the
actual problem rather than have us fix your proposed soln to it tbh.
