Restart the Mac mini and try again.


If that doesn't help, startup in Safe Mode followed by a normal Restart and try again.

Personally I use custom Icons for all of my drives on our 2018 Mac mini and 2020 M1 Mac mini's running the last 4 macOS versions including 15.0.1. I do not use custom icons for other folder and files, but they also work when tested.
