I can't get an environment variable to apply globally to my user

I want to use "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct" to set the theme in QT programs. It works perfectly fine if I specify the variable when manually running a program, but nothing I do will get it to apply gobally as to where a program can be opened with rofi or without having to specify the variable manually and have it apply. I've tried putting "export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct" at the end of ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc, I've tried putting it in ~/.pam_environment, I've tried exporting it manually, all won't make it apply gobally. Pringenv does show it, but for some reason QT programs still open with the default Fusion theme instead of the custom one I have set with qt5ct.
