[Solved] Accidently removed breeze theme for sddm

I was having this weird issue where the sddm breeze wouldn't show dark input fields (as my theme is breeze with dark colors). I thought I might have messed up some configuration, so I removed sddm. I checked the /usr/share/sddm/theme and the breeze theme was still there. I thought pacman might have forgot to remove and (such a stupid) I removed it. Then after reinstalling sddm I am unable to find the breeze theme. Searching in internet it looks like breeze theme in sddm doesn't actually come from sddm itself (I may be wrong). So I reinstalled breeze package to see if that restores the sddm theme but it didn't. Ubuntu actually has the sddm-breeze-theme package, I tried to download and install it but my plasma version is 5.20 however the ubuntu version is around 5.18 (I forgot).
So can anyone help me or guide me inH the right direction to restore the sddm breeze theme, thanks in advance.

I have reinstalled the breeze package but there is no breeze theme in /usr/share/sddm/themes. There are only 3 themes elarun, maldives, maya. Also looking at the file list of breeze package I don't see any path related to sddm theme. Maybe I am missing something here?

Thank you so much. I have extracted the package and copied the breeze theme to /usr/share/sddm/themes/ and it's working fine. I could have also reinstalled the plasma-workspace package. Marking this as solved.
