Cannot change icon path

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but whenever I try to change the path that mako finds icons it keeps looking in the same path.
I have tried to run this command:
`mako --icon-path /home/user/.config/mako/icons/`
I have also tried to change it in the config file by adding the line `icon-path=/path/to/icons`
And many other things yet no matter what i try I always just recieve this error:
`Failed to load icon (Failed to open file “/home/user/.config/HyprV/mako/icons/volume-mid.png”: No such file or directory)`

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask and thanks for reading. Any help would be greatly appreciated
