I see.  What if you try setting GTK_DATA_PREFIX [1] to the profile where you
installed the themes?  I don't know if that will work; it's just a guess.

[1] https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-running
"GTK_DATA_PREFIX.  If set, makes GTK+ use $GTK_DATA_PREFIX instead of
the prefix configured when GTK+ was compiled."
