Dark Theme not applying in some recyclerview items

I have an app with multiple activities and fragments, and inside them there are recycler views. On one of my fragments, the recycler view items change to dark theme automatically, just like they should. But when using the exact same adapter class and exact same item layout on a different activity, it not longer applies the dark theme.

Item Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

        <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
            android:id="@+id/crv_anime"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
            android:clipToPadding="false"
            android:layout_marginBottom="14dp"
            app:cardCornerRadius="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="28dp"
            app:cardElevation="10dp"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">

            <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="550px"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                <ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/img_anime_cover"
                    android:layout_width="550px"
                    android:layout_height="777px"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/lbl_anime_title"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_below="@id/img_anime_cover"
                    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
                    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                    android:textAlignment="center"
                    android:fontFamily="@font/segoeb"
                    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
                    android:paddingRight="5dp"
                    android:textSize="16sp"/>

            </RelativeLayout>
        </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>

Fragment code (where the dark theme is working):

if (getActivity()!=null) {
                        if(getActivity().getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
                            adapter = new RecycleAdapter(getActivity(), animes);
                            GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 3, GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
                            animeList.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
                            animeList.setAdapter(adapter);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            adapter = new RecycleAdapter(getActivity(), animes);
                            GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 2, GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
                            animeList.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
                            animeList.setAdapter(adapter);
                        }
                    }
