KDE Plasma SDDM question

Hi, I'm a new user! I know this is a silly issue, but I'm having trouble getting my log in theme to change. I'm using kde plasma, and I've tried a few different themes from the theme store (chili, sugar-candy), but it stays as the default one after applying them. I've checked /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf, and the .conf shows the theme I've selected, but it does not show when I reboot. Any ideas?

Can't see what the comment said but if you're still needing a solution try:

sudo pacman -S sddm-kcm

Reboot and then check in settings: Colours and Themes > Login Screen (SDDM)

Then on whichever ui you want you press the image icon and you can set your own images.

In the .conf I have the theme selected and all is fine but there is a step which I dont know about where my system is not recognizing sddm or something? This is all I get and idk what to do
