Whenever we are working working with MS Office, import / export from php, we need to include a CSS file in the related code. More then 10 time we also faced this kind of problem. So we need to send the style file URL, to the related / called file. Check the modified code below :-

function createPPT($template)
  {

       $custom_css = "<your_url>/stye.css";

       $pptLayout = new \PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\DocumentLayout();
       $pptLayout->setDocumentLayout($pptLayout::LAYOUT_SCREEN_16X10);
       $pptTMPL = \PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\IOFactory::createReader('PowerPoint2007');
        //$ppt = $pptTMPL->load("./ppt-template.pptx");
       $ppt = $pptTMPL->load("./$template" , $custom_css);
       $ppt->setLayout($pptLayout);
    
       $oWriterPPTX = IOFactory::createWriter($ppt, 'PowerPoint2007');
       $oWriterPPTX->save(__DIR__ . "/sample2.pptx");
    
    }

Try this. I hope this will support your project.
