They are in Manual Partitioning, probably listed inside "Unknown". You'll need to make sure you've manually created an LV because neither anaconda autopart or Manual Partitioning can create an LV from available VG free space.

When I click on a VG that contains free space (no LVs) I get a message: "This device cannot be edited directly. You can remove it or select a different device.

If I have a VG with many LVs, but still has free space, I can't get anaconda to make new LVs.
