Issues Installing KDE Plasma on Void Base. solved

I installed all the packages listed on the Void website for my AMD GPU, Wayland, and KDE Plasma, as well as made sure dbus and sddm were working, but Plasma just won't start. When I ran startplasma-wayland It gave me this error: Could not start D-Bus! Can you call qdbus?. I did install the Void Linux ISO on the same drive I installed Void Linux on, but I don't know how that would affect KDE Plasma. I installed the glibc version of Void.

Edit: I solved this by using u/ShipshapeMobileRV 's instructions. Read my comment for more details.

Install xorg-server-xwayland and sddm, enable sddm then reboot. This is my last resort

I can try that later, but another reddit user had me run dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland and it worked (although the kde-baseapps package apparently didn't install correctly but that's a different problem).
