How to build and link OpenSSL and libCURL statically using CMake with FetchContent?

Question

I am trying to use CMake build system using the CLion IDE for a project. I need to get libCURL and OpenSSL from the github repo using FetchContent. I want to first build OpenSSL statically and then tell CMake to pass the OpenSSL::SSL to libCURL so it can statically link it. Also note that since OpenSSL does not use the CMake build system I am relying on janbar/openssl-cmake Github repo for building the 1.1.1w version of OpenSSL. Here's what i have gotten so far,

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.28)
set(PROJECT_NAME untitled)
project(${PROJECT_NAME} C)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
        curl
        URL "https://github.com/curl/curl/archive/refs/tags/curl-8_7_1.tar.gz"
        OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
)
FetchContent_Declare(
        openssl
        URL "https://github.com/janbar/openssl-cmake/archive/refs/tags/1.1.1w-20231130.tar.gz"
        OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(openssl)

set(BUILD_STATIC_LIBS ON CACHE INTERNAL "Build static libraries" FORCE)
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF CACHE INTERNAL "Switch off building shared libraries" FORCE)
set(ENABLE_WEBSOCKETS ON CACHE INTERNAL "Set to ON to enable EXPERIMENTAL websockets" FORCE)
set(BUILD_CURL_EXE OFF CACHE BOOL "Switch off building curl executable" FORCE)
set(BUILD_TESTING OFF CACHE INTERNAL "Switch off building curl tests" FORCE)
set(CURL_USE_OPENSSL ON CACHE INTERNAL "Use OpenSSL backend" FORCE)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(curl)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.c)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} CURL::libcurl_static)

Using the Reload CMake Project button in the IDE I get the following output.

It seems that OpenSSL gets built but the Github repo I use outputs ssl, crypto and uninstall modules? Idk what they are called. So my question is how do I

1. Build OpenSSL from source into a static library
2. Build libCURL from source and then ask it to statically link with OpenSSL that was just built
3. Link everything using target_link_libraries
