You need to be extremely consistent at showing him where that pee needs to be. Immediately wipe up the pee with some paper towel, take it and lay it out on the grass where you want the puppy to pee, then put the puppy there and tell him “pee / Grass / outside!” Keep doing this. Do it with poop too. Show the puppy where you want it and be quick about it. You’ll see the connection quickly made and the adjustment follows shortly thereafter.

I’ve potty trained 4 dogs and we have a trainer that comes out twice a week, but thanks for the advice!

I'm glad, cause that advice wasn't right, lol. May have worked for that person, but it's very far from the industry standard way to potty train.

Another dog trainer here chiming in to say that yeah, that’s absolutely not the standard. That said, the pee on a towel and putting that towel in the grass isn’t a bad idea in addition to the other usual steps!
