Bulk nuclear structure properties, such as radii and deformations, leavedistinct signatures in the final state of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Isobaric collisions offer an easy route to establish explicit connectionsbetween the colliding nuclei's structure and the observable outcomes. Here, weinvestigate the effects of nuclear skin thickness and nuclear deformations onthe elliptic flow ($v_2$) and its fluctuations in high-energy$^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr collisions. Our findings revealthat the difference in skin thickness between these isobars only influences theinherent ellipticity of the collision systems, $v_2^{\mathrm{rp}}$. Incontrast, differences in nuclear deformations solely impact the fluctuations of$v_2$ around $v_2^{\mathrm{rp}}$. Hence, we have identified a data-drivenmethod to disentangle the effects of nuclear skin and nuclear deformations,marking a significant step toward assessing the consistency of nuclearphenomena across energy scales.
