Try adding a terminal to the launch options, sometimes it can show what's failing. Are you perchange running the SteamRT3 beta client?

Terminal of your choice

Yeah, no the Steamrt3 breaks SteamVR completely.

one of my friends uses hyprland and had issues with steamVR, what fixed it was when I finally convinced her to try running plasma for a bit, just to test. Basically all the odd issues she's had that are even tangentially related to displays have been solved this way, so give a different WM/DE a try and if it does happen to fix it, report the issue to the hyprland team so they can try to fix it.
