I'm using VIPER and trying to implement a custom NavBarController

I'm trying to create a custom nav bar and want to add a title on the left and a chat icon on the right.

Just like this

but it's not showing any item. The background color is the only custom that working.

I'm calling it like this

let garageVC = HomeNavController(rootViewController: GarageRouter.assembleModule(), title: "My Garage")

My Nav class

import UIKit

class HomeNavController: UINavigationController {
    
    var tabTitle: String?
    
    init(rootViewController: UIViewController, title: String) {
        super.init(rootViewController: rootViewController)
        self.tabTitle = title
        configure()
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        configure()
    }
    
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        configure()
    }
    
    private func configure() {
        
        navigationBar.isHidden = false
        navigationBar.isTranslucent = false

        navigationBar.tintColor = .white
        navigationBar.barTintColor = .primary
        
        let nameLabel = UILabel(frame: .zero)
        nameLabel.textColor = .white
        nameLabel.tintColor = .white
        nameLabel.text = tabTitle
        navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: nameLabel)

        
        let chatButton = UIButton(type: .system)
        chatButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "home-chat")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal), for: .normal)
        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: chatButton)
        chatButton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: -10)
        chatButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(chatClicked), for: .touchUpInside)
        
    }
    
    @objc func chatClicked() {
        print("Chat clicked")
    }
}

Output

I semi hard-coded it. I have implemented configure() function on my view controller and it works. Sadly, I have to drag this function for every view controller on my tabBar.
