Can I link Virtual IP to the Virtual Servers for Load Balancing

I need to have load balancing between two servers, so I have created a virtual IP and linked it to the virtual sever I have created on Fortigate, of course the virtual server is linked to the two real servers.

The issue is that the VIP is getting hit counts normally (even if I link a real server to it, I have access), but the virtual server is not getting any hit counts,

So, I want to ask if it is possible to do this configuration? If yes, what may be the issue with it?

Virtual Server is a type of Virtual IP that perform load balancing.
If you have Virtual Server, no need for Virtual IP.

Okay, I deleted the VIP and directly linked the public IP to the virtual server and adjust the firewall policy to,

src: wan

dst: lan

src addr: all

dst addr: virtual server

service: https

still no hit counts on the virtual server when I try to access via https://publicip,
