Hi, some might missed in your case.

  1. How about installed Steam VR?
  2. Oculus Quest 2 need the “Oculus Link” which I think you have installed, but make sure the Set-Up is successful. And other thing is you need to Enable “Link” in your Quest device before open Unreal Editor.

FYI my open step in VR:

  1. Open Steam & Steam VR
  2. Open and put on Quest 2, then Plug the USB cable to connect with PC, then enable “Oculus Link” in your headset
  3. You should see you are entering “White World” in Quest
  4. Open the Unreal Editor now, and it should success

You don’t need SteamVR to use Oculus Quest 2 w. Oculus link. You need to make sure that the Oculus Runtime is installed and that you have Link enabled.

Before you start the unreal engine,
You have to have the headset on, click ALLOW data access on the in headset popup after you plug it into your computer (or connect with AIRLINK), if you don’t use AirLink connect via Oculus Link. Either way, once you’re loaded into the Oculus link (Rift) menu, you can THEN open your unreal project. If you do those things after the editor is already open the “VR preview” play button will stay gray until you restart the editor.

I had to completely remove/delete my Oculus CV1 from Oculus Settings to get Quest 2 working properly in Unreal Engine (using Open XR settings). You may want to try this.
