Add social icons to header
To add social icons in the header, first, you need to set your social network accounts links in the Theme options > Layout > Social icons.
Essentials Theme Options
After setting the links in the Theme options you will notice that the social icons will appear automatically in the header after adding the social element in the header builder (WordPress admin panel > Headers > Edit your header) .

However, if the social icon you’re looking for is not available directly in the theme options, you can check if it’s available in the Font icons set in the theme, by using the Link element (without inserting text) in the header builder to add an icon from the available font icons set in the theme.
Below you can check an example for adding the Soundcloud icon in the header builder:

After clicking on the Logo element the Options panel will appear and you will be able to choose the image, image size and link as follows:
