    Please have them run with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 and send you the output. There'll 
    be a line there saying that the plugin failed to load because something 
    happened. It's probably a missing system library.

    Have your users install that if it is the case.

So we tracked down the issue to when we are creating the installer (through cmake) and the RPATHS are all getting adjusted for the dependent libraries, one library does NOT get adjusted and that library still references a system installed Qt5. I will have to go back through the install codes to figure out why that is not occurring.

Thanks for all the hints, it helped get us to the answer.
