Marlin Fan Output Voltage Question

That is not your problem. Your problem is your laser is expecting a positive going PWM pulse and all of your fan outputs, as Dan says, provide the PWM by chopping up the ground because they all employ N channel FETs. You will continue in a world of hurt until you manage to rectify this basic problem. Either use a direct PWM output from the MCU (seeing as the SKR v2 does not have a dedicated output for laser PWM your best options are either PE6 (currently assigned to RGB) or PE5 (currently assigned to servos),
PE_ground

other than that you will be directly soldering onto R93/R94 junction to obtain the fan2 PWM signal before it gets to the Fan2 mosfet (not recommended)

…or invert the fan output from the FAN2 socket J24 using an opto-isolator or transistor inverter. See Issues getting laser configured properly - #17 by dart1280
An oscilloscope will be of great benefit checking for a proper PWM signal

Your 10v isn’t right. the FAN2 socket J24 has VBB on pin 2, this should be the same as VMOT , this should be the same voltage as DCIN. Check the voltage at F2, if that is 12V suspect a faulty Q2 or U5
