So I currently use kinoite-main and I was wondering if it is possible to install SDDM themes through a workaround because when I try to install via KDEs “Get New Themes” button it seems to not work because it tries to install via /usr/share/sddn/themes but since it is read-only it can not install.
There’s no official way to do it, but have you looked at this discussion on the Fedora forums? That user copied /usr/share/sddm to /var/lib/sddm and then created an entry in /etc/fstab to bind mount /var/lib/sddm back onto /usr/share/sddm. That seems like a relatively painless way to do it.

Was able to follow and the forum post and I was able to customize background and login theme def wish it was a lot easier than this but better than nothing.

you can use sddm2rpm!
Its a great tool that converts any archive (now also with .zip support) into RPMs, which you can then layer.

thats a really good way! This should be done upstream, to fix that issue

I just put mine in /usr/share, one of the reasons why I moved to using a repo outright.
