• I have read all the documentation

Yazi has already detected ImageMagick:

magick : 7.1.2-2

The reason there's no preview is that your terminal (Alacritty) doesn't support any image protocols.

Alacritty itself doesn't support any image protocols; there's an unmerged fork you might be interested in: alacritty/alacritty#4763

Closing as this is not something Yazi can do—it requires Alacritty to support an image protocol.
