This probably means that the affected apps are requesting an icon that is not present in your OS's icon theme.

I would expect that the version installed via apt probably installs an icon into /usr/share where your "system tray" implementation can find it, but a sandboxed app doesn't have the opportunity to do that.

so the problem is the system tray or the community indicators not supporting flatpak icons not flatpak?

FWIW: Form older firejail issues I know that electron app put the icon somewhere under /tmp back then.

Try flatpak override --system --talk-name=com.canonical.indicator.application --talk-name=org.ayatana.indicator.application. Most application maintainers are likely unaware of this special indicator-application tray implementation and that it needs additional permissions.
