Can't get KDEConnect to work on EndeavourOS

Help

Hi. I am a bit new to Linux. I have KDE Connect working on my Windows and Android and the devices can see each other. But when I tried to install it on my EndeavourOS via yay -S kdeconnect, I get a seemingly non-functional app. It looks correct but nothing works and I can’t find my device like usual. The icons also seem to be broken. Including a screenshot just in case it’s helpful:

Is there a step I’m missing? Did I install it correctly?

iirc endeavour sports firewalld? Maybe it’s blocking kdeconnect.

Thanks! That was the issue. I went into the Firewall GUI and in the services tab I enabled kdeconnect and now my devices can find each other.
