Item not rendered after Ajax Selection

I setup a Select2 Object to work wit han ajax source data.
This is the Html

<select class="form-control" id="customerSelect" style="width: 200px !important;"></select>

This is the JS to initialize and fill the select

  $("#customerSelect").select2({
    dropdownAutoWidth: true,
    templateResult: iconUser,
    minimumInputLength: 3,
    placeholder: "-- Select a customer --",
    ajax: {
      url : "/admin/ajax/orders.php",
      type:'POST',
      dataType: 'json',
      delay: 250,
      data: function (params) {
        return {
          searchTerm: params.term,
          action: 'listCustomers',
          isJs: true
        };
      },
      processResults: function (result) {
        return {
          results: $.map(result['data'], function (item) {
            return {
              id: item.id,
              customerName: item.customerName,
              stockName: item.stockName,
              customerType: item.customerType
            }
          })
        };
      }
    }
  });

And this is my template function, I add an icon in front of the text

function iconUser (userDetails) {
    return $("<span><i class=\"fa-solid fa-"+userDetails.customerType+"\"></i> "+userDetails.customerName+" - "+userDetails.stockName+"</span>");
  }

Everything works fine before the loading, the select shows up with the right placeholder
When I click on it, it load correctly the search results
but once I click on an item, any, it doesn’t appear anything on the select
Sorry, I insert only one image as new member I’ve limitations

Here’s the html code after I click on the select, it seems the rendered space is empty, even if the right element is populated (user_748)

<select class="form-control select2-hidden-accessible" id="customerSelect" style="width: 200px !important;" data-select2-id="select2-data-customerSelect" tabindex="-1" aria-hidden="true">
  <option value="user_748" data-select2-id="select2-data-116-dhe1"></option>
</select>

<span class="select2 select2-container select2-container--default select2-container--below" dir="ltr" data-select2-id="select2-data-1-39br" style="width: 200px;">
  <span class="selection">
    <span class="select2-selection select2-selection--single" role="combobox" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" tabindex="0" aria-disabled="false" aria-labelledby="select2-customerSelect-container" aria-controls="select2-customerSelect-container">
      <span class="select2-selection__rendered" id="select2-customerSelect-container" role="textbox" aria-readonly="true"></span>
      <span class="select2-selection__arrow" role="presentation">
        <b role="presentation"></b>
      </span>
    </span>
  </span>
  <span class="dropdown-wrapper" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</span>

I tried to search in the forum and in the web, but with no luck
