To do a sanity check on your config, try to build an actual application.
meta-qt5 has some examples in recipes-qt/examples folder, and/or for
meta-qt6 just grab an example from qtcreator, or use a graphical "hello
world".

If you add such an application to IMAGE_INSTALL on its own, and it works
in the final image (without explicitly adding Qt dependencies to
IMAGE_INSTALL), then you can verify that it works - Qt apps can be
compiled and executed in the final image. If you build an image with
having the meta-qt layer present, Qt parts will be only included in the
image if there is something to require them.
