problems using fancyhdr in lyx

pwd

I need to set custom headers in a paper.
I installed fancyhdr package, set it to use fancy headers in the document settings. Inserted the example code in the preamble from the fancyhdr documentation.
No headers appear though. Document compiles without error, but there are no headers in it.

edit: I see that if I increase the amount of content, that there are headers on the pages after the first page. I need headers on the first page too though

here is the tex code:

Is the first page a title page or the beginning of a chapter? Because LaTex defaults to clear headers for these. You need to override the default setting. For example:

\chapter{Chapter 1} \thispagestyle{fancy}
