tl-dr:

1. Provide lodestar BN with a Builder endpoint (which corresponds to the network you are running) via these additional flags:

--builder.enabled --builder.urls <builder/relay/boost url>

2. Run lodestar VC with these additional flags

--builder.enabled --defaultFeeRecipient <your ethereum address>
