I have often found that after starting the programme a few times the
desktp
icon changes from the rocket ship to one aligned with the fresh
insatlled
programme.
so I right clicked the 'rocket ship' (RS) icon for the program in the
menu, and chose 'properties'. Then I clicked on the rocket ship icon
in the Launcher Properties box that appeared and I was able to change
it to one from the many available in the various categories listed.
Then I repeated that for each RS program. However the actual programs
the launchers were for were not listed, so I just chose icons that
would remind me what the program was.
If the program is not listed, you can click "browse" and see if
there's an icon available in the directory where the program is
located. Lots of programs have icons available in their folder.

some programs do not have a directory or folders. they're just an app I launch eg. helium-0.6.7.1-x86_64.AppImage,

click on it. It runs on its own. The top two on the download list are for
ARM CPUs, you would want to download the third one down for a "normal" x86_AMD64 CPU.

You can go here:
https://appimage.github.io/Helium/
and right click the Helium icon and save it to a folder of your choice. Create your launcher and click on the rocket ship generic icon and then select browse.
Browse to wherever you saved the Helium icon and select it and that's it.
