OK, I forgot that there is one other step.
For many EPEL packages (including KDE) you have to also enable the
codeready-builder (RHEL) or PowerTools (CentOS)
#### If RHEL 8 do
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
#### If CentOS 8 do
dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools
#### If CentOS Stream do
dnf config-manager --enable Stream-PowerTools
It looks like that should fix your problem.

That should be all you need to do.
I'll look into that problem. Hopefully it's something quick.
If it's not, I'll get you a workaround.
