I can't get a reference of an image in c++

I have a c++ UserWidget like this (sorry for some naming I renamed stuff a bit for post clarity)

header

class MYGame ParentWidget: public UUserWidget
{
 // ...
protected:
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, meta = (BindWidget))
	class UCanvasPanel* ContainerPanel;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
	float DesiredSize = 32.0f;
private:
	void SyncDetection();
 // ...
}

cpp

void ParentWidget::ObjectEnteredRange()
{
		
		ChildWidget* Image = CreateWidget<ChildWidget>(this, ChildWidget::StaticClass());
		ContainerPanel->AddChildToCanvas(Image);
        ChildWidget->SetSize(DesiredSize);
	
}

which I use inside a UMG Blueprint with the following structure

Now, I have a child object that is simple

header

UCLASS()
class MYGame ChildWidget: public UUserWidget
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

public:
	void SetSize(float size);
	virtual void NativeTick(const FGeometry& MyGeometry, float InDeltaTime) override;
protected
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, meta = (BindWidget))
	class UImage* Image;
	
};

cpp


void ChildWidget::NativeTick(const FGeometry& MyGeometry, float InDeltaTime)
{
	Super::NativeTick(MyGeometry, InDeltaTime);
	const FVector2D WidgetLocation = GetCachedGeometry().GetAbsolutePosition();


	const UCanvasPanel* ParentCanvas = Cast<UCanvasPanel>(GetParent());
	if (ParentCanvas  != nullptr)
	{
		const FVector2D CanvasSize = ParentCanvas->GetCachedGeometry().GetLocalSize();
		const FVector2D CanvasCenter(CanvasSize.X * 0.5f, CanvasSize.Y * 0.5f);
		SetPositionInViewport(FVector2D(CanvasCenter.X, CanvasCenter.Y),false);
	}
}

void ChildWidget::SetSize(float Size)
{
	if(Image != nullptr)
	{
		Image->SetDesiredSizeOverride(FVector2D(Size, Size));
	}
}

that simply looks like this

I am facing 2 problem that I do not understand.

  1. Why I can never see my ChildWidget addeed to my ParentWidget. Even if the log run and it looks like it is properly called and the construct and setSize of child run, I am never able to see it on screen.

  2. Why does

void ChildWidget::SetSize(float Size)
{
	if(Image != nullptr)
	{
		Image->SetDesiredSizeOverride(FVector2D(Size, Size));
	}
}

Image is always empty ? I tried renaming the variable, double checking that IsVariable is properly checked etc… but it is NEVER defined in code and always null.
