I haven't used CentOS7 for several years, so I was ignoring this
thread in the hope others could answer.

My not very trustworthy memory is that "/etc/exports" on
the server needs the "insecure" option for NFS4 to work, see:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3773891 for explanation
and some diagnostic tests.   My take on diagnostics is:

1) find the ports used for nfs4 tcp:

rpcinfo -p <server_IP> | awk '/ 4 /'
    100000    4   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    4   udp    111  portmapper
    100003    4   tcp   2049  nfs
    100021    4   udp  35759  nlockmgr
    100021    4   tcp  38583  nlockmgr

2) use telnet on the client to verify that you can connect to ports
111 and 2049 on the server:

% telnet <server_IP> 111
Trying <server_IP> ...
Connected to <server_IP>.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
% telnet <server_IP> 2049
Trying <server_IP>...
Connected to <server_IP>.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

3. verify the exported filesystems:

% showmount -e <server_IP>
Export list for <server_IP>:
/path/to/export client

Fedora 33 doesn't appear to need the "insecure" option.   For CentOS7, see
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/storage_administration_guide/ch-nfs
.
