Hi, I have an issue with getting sddm to load their test greeter while trying to install the pixie theme

I did things in reverse order from my knowledge in terms of installation. I followed the git page for pixie sddm by xCaptaiN09, where I followed its steps in installing qt6, and git cloned the repo flwed with sudo ./install.sh

I tried the greeter command
sddm-greeter-qt6 —test-mode —theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/pixie

It didnt work, so I tried to use yay to install it instead as shown as an alt method.
I ended up installing both qt5 as well and tried with all other alter methods in the git page, all had the same error (i will out a photo of the error message, its basically the same across all methods i tried)

I have also tried reinstalling all the packages involved multiple times. And I am kind of confused where to go from here, whether to uninstall all the packages and go from scratch or something else.

I appreciate if anyone could help out 🙇
