I didn't connect it yet , i just used the type C charger for now , but the solar panel is a mini one with the specs : 6V, 160mA, 0.96W
Ok. You said "The issue is that my PI is not powering up." That's probably because it's not connected.

Your solar panel is too small. It will not produce sufficient power to run a Pi.
Shouldn't it power up with the type C plug-in adaptor ? I am using my phone charger for this , the lights come up in the TP4056 , so current is flowing through .
The TP4056 is a lithium battery charging module. The output voltage will be less than 5V. The DC-DC converter should be a boost regulator, not a buck regulator. You haven't stated the part number of your regulator. I expect it is a buck regulator and it cannot make a higher voltage on its output.
