Have you tried not doing import "../WeightPlateQtQ", changing your QML 
file to start with an uppercase character e.g. ChoosePlates.qml and 
using the element name with a capital e.g. ChoosePlates {...}?

The QML engine looks for components with capital letters as the first 
character of the file name.

Cheers,

Sean
