Code styles are applied on a project level. There is no global setting. You can set a default style via Settings > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Code Style Any new project will use that style.
That said... when you reformat you should get the styles you set. You need to verify that the configuration you created is set in the Settings > [Project Settings] > Code Style --> Scheme dialog. I seen some case where the default is actually reselected by mistake. You may want to double check the specific setting options in that scheme. Make sure the same code that is shown looks exactly like what you want.
Then run a code Layout reformat (Ctrl+Alt+L)

Reformat code | IntelliJ IDEA Documentation
4 weeks ago - IntelliJ IDEA can apply your code style formatting to the specified files from the command line. Make sure you have a command-line launcher for your OS. Run the format command. Learn more from Format files from the command line. You can exclude a group of files and directories from reformatting, code arrangement, and import optimization. In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to Editor | Code Style. Switch to the Formatter tab and in the Do not format field, enter the files and directories that you want to exclude using a glob pattern.

Check that your keyboard shortcuts are configured. To do this, press Ctrl+Alt+S, navigate to Keymap, open up Main menu drop down, open Code folder and check that Reformat Code has a key combination set. You can also find Reformat Code via the search bar.

I noticed that because I turned on the Final Modifier already (Make generated local variables final and Make generated parameters final in Settings: Editor -> Code Style -> Java -> Code Generation). But after shortcut, no finals are added. However, if I do ⌥+⇧+⌘+L to open the reformat dialog and click run, it does add final to variables and parameters). It also work when I right click the file and choose reformat code.

IntelliJ reformatting code not as expected · Issue #511 · detekt/detekt-intellij-plugin
April 8, 2024 - Detekt's reformatting function works as intended. When I use the IDE's Reformat code, it doesn't align with what Detekt is configured. Reformat code should reformat code as would Detekt. I'm not sure if this has ever worked before or I just happened to have the right IDE configs to make it look like Reformat code works as expected, but this happened recently when I reopened an old Kotlin project.
