Laptop crashes when changing keyboard language

So, i installed fcitx with mozc for japanese. Since then when i try and switch my language input everything freezes and i need to reboot.

Some details:
I ran fcitx-diagnose and here are the errors:

# Fcitx Configure UI:
1.  Config Tool Wrapper:

    Found fcitx-configtool at `/usr/bin/fcitx-configtool`.

2.  Config GUI for gtk2:

    **Config GUI for gtk2 not found.**

3.  Config GUI for gtk3:

    Found `fcitx-config-gtk3` at `/usr/bin/fcitx-config-gtk3`.

4.  Config GUI for kde:

    **`kcmshell4` not found.**

# Frontends setup:
## Xim:
1.  `${XMODIFIERS}`:

    **XMODIFIERS is not set**

    **Please set environment variable XMODIFIERS to "@im=fcitx" using the tool your distribution provides or add `export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx` to your `~/.xprofile`. See [Input Method Related Environment Variables: XMODIFIERS](http://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Input_method_related_environment_variables#XMODIFIERS).**
    Xim Server Name from Environment variable is fcitx.

2.  XIM_SERVERS on root window:

    Xim server name is the same with that set in the environment variable.

## Qt:
1.  qt4 - `${QT4_IM_MODULE}`:

    **Please set environment variable QT_IM_MODULE to "fcitx" using the tool your distribution provides or add `export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx` to your `~/.xprofile`. See [Input Method Related Environment Variables: QT_IM_MODULE](http://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Input_method_related_environment_variables#QT_IM_MODULE).**

2.  qt5 - `${QT_IM_MODULE}`:

    **Please set environment variable QT_IM_MODULE to "fcitx" using the tool your distribution provides or add `export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx` to your `~/.xprofile`. See [Input Method Related Environment Variables: QT_IM_MODULE](http://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Input_method_related_environment_variables#QT_IM_MODULE).**

3.  Qt IM module files:

    Found fcitx im module for Qt5: `/usr/lib/qt/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so`.
    Found fcitx im module for Qt5: `/usr/lib/qt6/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin-qt6.so`.
    Found fcitx qt module: `/usr/lib/fcitx/qt/libfcitx-quickphrase-editor5.so`.
    **Cannot find fcitx input method module for Qt4.**

## Gtk:
1.  gtk - `${GTK_IM_MODULE}`:

    **Please set environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE to "fcitx" using the tool your distribution provides or add `export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx` to your `~/.xprofile`. See [Input Method Related Environment Variables: GTK_IM_MODULE](http://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Input_method_related_environment_variables#GTK_IM_MODULE).**

I don't really understand what these things mean, but they talk about modules that i pasted in .zshenv. For me the file was empty, while in the tutorial it wasn't. Here is what i have in .zshenv:

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIRES=@im=fcitx

It be great if someone could help me fix this and explaind to what steps 2.2 Set environment variables for IM modules and 2.3 XIM actualy do, as i couldn't understand from the wiki article.
