The first ($v_1^{text{even}}$), second ($v_2$) and third ($v_3$) harmonic coefficients of the azimuthal particle distribution at mid-rapidity, are extracted for charged hadrons and studied as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) and mean charged particle multiplicity density $langle mathrm{N_{ch}} rangle$ in U+U ($roots =193$~GeV), Au+Au, Cu+Au, Cu+Cu, $d$+Au and $p$+Au collisions at $roots = 200$~GeV with the STAR Detector. For the same $langle mathrm{N_{ch}} rangle$, the $v_1^{text{even}}$ and $v_3$ coefficients are observed to be independent of collision system, while $v_2$ exhibits such a scaling only when normalized by the initial-state eccentricity ($varepsilon_2$). The data also show that $ln(v_2/varepsilon_2)$ scales linearly with $langle mathrm{N_{ch}} rangle^{-1/3}$. These measurements provide insight into initial-geometry fluctuations and the role of viscous hydrodynamic attenuation on $v_n$ from small to large collision systems.
