Is better to avoid installing system-wide (root user) when using
pip, Things can get quite messy. I would remove it (pip --unistall
PySide2) and try the package.

The PySide2 library does not bundle Kirigami.

So it seems like the package was already installed 

Try cleaning $HOME/.cache (some users had issues with ~/.cache and core
dumps on KDE). 

What desktop environment are you using?

If after doing all that and installing the updated libs you still have
issues, I will find some time and do a local installation on
Pop!_OS and find out what's going on :)
