Theme issues when starting i3 session with startx instead of lightdm. (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying to migrate from lightdm to just using startx to start my i3 session.

First I had issues with kdeconnect working which were fixed by replacing exec i3 with exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session i3 in the xinitrc.

Now even though the apps works it is not following the system theme, I checked qt5ct and it is telling me that QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is not set to qt5ct.

But I do have export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct on my ~/.profile it seems the file is not being read but I have no idea on how to fix it.
