Thanks for opening this issue! We have not tested/do not currently have support for GitLab packages, but will ensure we update PowerShellGet to work with this source.

FWIW @brajjan, I'm unable to replicate this in my environment. Here are the details:

GitLab version: 15.6.0-ee

$PSVersionTable:

Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      7.3.1
PSEdition                      Core
GitCommitId                    7.3.1
OS                             Microsoft Windows 10.0.25267
Platform                       Win32NT
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0…}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3
SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1
WSManStackVersion              3.0

Get-PSResourceRepository:

Name      Uri                                                                      Trusted Priority
----      ---                                                                      ------- --------
PSGallery https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2                                 False   1
GitLab    https://mygitlab.domain.com/api/v4/projects/406/packages/nuget/index.json True    50

Get-PackageSource (note, there's no source for GitLab here):

Name                             ProviderName     IsTrusted  Location
----                             ------------     ---------  --------
MyNuGet                          NuGet            False      https://www.nuget.org/api/v2

Find-PSResource -Name TagTest -Repository GitLab -Credential $Credential:

Name    Version  Prerelease Repository Description
----    -------  ---------- ---------- -----------
TagTest 1.0.49.0            GitLab     

The installation (Install-PSResource -Name TagTest -Repository GitLab -Credential $Credentials) works fine.

If it's not still an issue for you, perhaps this case can be closed.

This should be resolved with the latest changes to v3 repositories. Our next release (beta23) will have further support for GitLab repos.
