dont think it is possible. But you can set Google Photos as your default app.

You can if you use adb shell:

Developer Options > USB debugging turned on
CMD prompt > adb devices
Allow connection from the PC prompt on phone

Then
adb shell
pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.gallery3d

This will remove Gallery, BUT... The stock camera will not allow you to view the pic after you take it (it will show up in Google Photos still)

To restore the above removed app:

cmd package install-existing com.sec.android.gallery3d
