Hi @karlos, it is little bit typical to use user-meta values for cover,
BuddyPress is using attachment api to manage cover images.

check these codes

function buddyboss_cover_image_callback( $params = array()) {
$default_cover = get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/images/default-bp-cover-image.jpg';
$cover_image = ( !$params['cover_image'] ) ?  'background-image: url(' . $default_cover . ');' : 'background-image: url(' .         $params['cover_image'] . ');';

	return '
		/* Screen reader - this should be added to the buddypress css of the theme */

		#buddypress #header-cover-image {
			height: 180px;
			' . $cover_image . '
		}
	';
}

We have used a default cover image, you can use it fall back cover image using your displayed user id user meta

Hi @karlos we have already added these codes in theme-functions.php of parent theme and If you add it again to child theme it will break the site due to duplicate function call.
if you need cover image from your custom user meta, you will need to edit the same function inside the parent theme.
I will suggest to skip it, and let you user to set their new cover images
