I installed Qt 6.5 in Debian and created a custom widget (plugin) with Qt Creator. Where should I copy the compiled .so file so that Qt Designer can see it among the widgets ?

It is considered rude to post the same question to multiple forums.

Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.
I've seen this document before, but it's inaccurate as it doesn't exist in /opt/Qt/6.5.0/gcc_64/bin/plugins/designer. Instead, it exists in /opt/Qt/6.5.0/gcc_64/plugins/designer/
I put my .so plugin in the folder but in Qt Designer going from the menu: Tools > Form Editor... > About Qt Designer Plugins the copied plugin is not displayed, even by refreshing.

I apologize

Have you searched from "/" to see if there are any other Qt directories? Or alternatively, have you executed "which designer" to find the executable's location?

I'm giving up, I've tried them all, I've also tried again on Windows 10 and nothing has been resolved. I'm bored with Qt, they don't know how to set up a precise environment, with the right versions for its tools.
QtCreator uses its own Qt and QtDesigner package. Place your files in the <Qt parent directory>/QtCreator/lib/Qt/plugins/designer directory.

I basically work under Windows but show the structure of the /usr/bin/qtcreator directory.
P.S.
In Qt Creator choose from menu : Help -> System Information.
In section Library Info You can see where is located Qt used by Qt Creator.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to see from the menu. I did as you told me. I am attaching the document in question
cartelle_Qt.txt
so where ? I found: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/
I put my plugin in the correct folder that I listed here, and here's what I see:
