Problem Description: Make Column Of Library

Hi! So I am trying to create filters in a sharepoint using pnp modern search. But when trying to use filters, I go to schema and don't know how to make the columns of the library searchable in the filters results.  This aren't from the schema, this are just manually written down. How could I make to get the values from the columns? The choices come from term storage management in the sharepoint, maybe this helps. Thanks!!
