Why can't I see my overlay in my headset?

A headset never sees your monitor. Anything drawn on the desktop — OBS, Lite's on-screen widgets, other overlay apps — is invisible once the headset is on.

To appear in VR, a graphic has to be drawn inside the game's own frame, which is what OpenKneeboard does. See Overlays in VR.
