Unable to run lockscreen on KWin compositor #30

Description

Upon running quickshell lockscreen I get the following error

Locking with Quickshell using theme: pixel-night-city
Theme path: /home/lobster/.local/share/quickshell-lockscreen/themes_link/pixel-night-city
INFO: Launching config: "/home/lobster/.local/share/quickshell-lockscreen/lock_shell.qml"

ERROR: Cannot start session lock: The current compositor does not support the ext-session-lock-v1 protocol.

The Arch Wiki states for sddm to run with KWin the following line has to be added

/etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf

[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts --locale1

Not sure if this is caused by an SDDM error, but after the install of this theme the file needed to add this line to was not present. I manually created the file and reran the install script and it still did not function
