Failed to override getProductCollection() from MagentoCatalogModelLayer.php

I tried to override the MagentoCatalogModelLayer.php to rewrite getProductCollection() method but it didn’t work for me. I have tried multiple things and end up writing here as I had no clue what went wrong.

Added in etc/frontend/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">

    <preference for="MagentoCatalogModelLayer"
            type="VendorModuleModelLayer" />

</config>

I have no clue what I am missing here. The class VendorModuleModelLayer extends MagentoCatalogModelLayer

Surprisingly, no errors shown by the compiler. Code compilation was successful. Looking for some expert tips here

I tried to use this solution as well but not worked for me. Facing other issues.

Version: Magento 2.4.3-p1
