Reading docs about I want to reuse only a small PCB pattern (pads and small alignment holes) from one project in another project. How do I create a reusable module from a PCB selection, publish or save it, and then place it in a different project? Steps for selecting objects, creating a module from selection, naming and saving, and how to insert it into another design..

Exploring export options in Flux.

Here’s the most relevant entry I found related to your request:
“The process to create a module is as follows:
  1. Create the circuit you want to make a module out of
  2. Add terminals to establish the connections
  3. Connect the terminals' pads in the PCB editor
  4. Add a designator prefix
  5. Publish the module
1- Create a circuit
Create the circuit you want to convert into a module. Make sure you follow some of these Module Design Best Practices to get the most out of your design.
2- Add terminals
Simply drag the terminals from the library into the schematic editor. You can think of terminals as the inputs and outputs of your module. This means they should be connected to the nets or parts where you expect to connect other components when the module is used.” Source
