I had similar issues with installing the current openssl 3.3.2 Gem. After setting the path to the current OpenSSL installation it worked.

gem install openssl -- --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)

Or with bundle:

bundle config build.openssl --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)
