    I use something like this

    add_action( 'elementor/elements/categories_registered', function(ElementorElements_Manager $elements_manager ) {

        //add our categories
        $category_prefix = 'aqb-';

        $elements_manager->add_category(
            $category_prefix . 'widgets',
            [
                'title' => 'Blah Blah',
                'icon' => 'fa fa-plug',
            ]
        );

        //hack into the private $categories member and reorder it so our stuff is at the top

        $reorder_cats = function() use($category_prefix){
            uksort($this->categories, function($keyOne, $keyTwo) use($category_prefix){
                if(substr($keyOne, 0, 4) == $category_prefix){
                    return -1;
                }
                if(substr($keyTwo, 0, 4) == $category_prefix){
                    return 1;
                }
                return 0;
            });

        };
        $reorder_cats->call($elements_manager);

    } );

    The solution that worked for me was

    function add_elementor_widget_categories( $elements_manager ) {

    $categories = [];
    $categories['NEWCAT'] =
        [
            'title' => 'NEWCAT',
            'icon'  => 'fa fa-plug'
        ];

    $old_categories = $elements_manager->get_categories();
    $categories = array_merge($categories, $old_categories);

    $set_categories = function ( $categories ) {
        $this->categories = $categories;
    };

    $set_categories->call( $elements_manager, $categories );

}

add_action( 'elementor/elements/categories_registered', 'add_elementor_widget_categories') ;
