Qt Resource Not Working - c++

Question

I've seen every SE question and have even followed some video tutorials. I have no idea why it isn't working.
I have two QLabels, lblBuyer and lblSeller as well as two pictures. Here is the relevant code:
QPixmap pixmap_buyer(":/Resources/Images/Buyer.png"), pixmap_seller(":/Resources/Images/Seller.png");
size_t lblBuyerWidth = ui->lblBuyer->width(), lblBuyerHeight = ui->lblBuyer->height();
size_t lblSellerWidth = ui->lblSeller->width(), lblSellerHeight = ui->lblSeller->height();
ui->lblBuyer->setPixmap(
pixmap_buyer.scaled(lblBuyerWidth, lblBuyerHeight, Qt::KeepAspectRatio)
);
ui->lblSeller->setPixmap(
pixmap_seller.scaled(lblSellerWidth, lblSellerHeight, Qt::KeepAspectRatio)
);
This is what the resources look like:
And the resources.qrc if you want it:
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/Resources">
<file>Images/Buyer.png</file>
<file>Images/Seller.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
And the file structure (images are directly in the Images directory):
I selected "Copy as Resource Path" so I was sure not to mess anything up. Also, when I click "Remove Missing Files," neither gets removed... However, when I run it:
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap

I have seen this a couple of times, and the cure varies:
The first thing to try is clean/rebuild your project.
The second thing to try is to manually clean/rebuild your project (as in delete your build dir by hand in a file manager).
If the problem still persists, you can try putting a resource init macro into main.
In other words, put a line like: Q_INIT_RESOURCE(my_resource); in your main() function just after instantiating your app for each resource in your project, like this:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
QApplication app(argc, argv);
Q_INIT_RESOURCE(my_resource);
// ... whatever here ...
return app.exec();}
}
Of course you put the name of your actual resource file in place of my_resource.
This is usually necessary only when I am doing some strange stuff like using my own static Qt or using a wired project structure.
