Have you specified "kernel-modules" in your image types installed packages ?
Or listed the individual module packages in the RDEPENDS of either the
image recipe, or recipes that require them ?

They'll be built and packaged automatically, but they won't be in the
rootfs until
something depends on them, or they are added to the install.
