⋯⋯ 固然⋯⋯ ，但是/可是/不过⋯⋯
固然⋯⋯ ，但是/可是/不过⋯⋯
Explanation
This structure is used to admit a fact or advantage in the first clause (固然), while simultaneously adding a contrasting or more important point in the latter clause (但是/可是/不过). It emphasizes that although the first thing is true, there is still a limitation or a more important consideration. For example: 'This job 固然 pays well, but it is very stressful' means admitting the high pay, but the stress is the bigger issue.
