YubiKey with VeraCrypt

Greetings fellow nerds!
I’m dipping my toes into the realm of encryption and HSMs so I recently acquired a YubiKey and would like to use it to help secure a VeraCrypt container. I know the YubiKey 5 is certified to work with PKCS #11 and so is VeraCrypt, but I can’t seem to find much information on how to get the two to work together. Do I need to import a library onto the computer I’m using to decrypt the VeraCrypt container, or is there a way to create a security token on the YubiKey that can be easily found by VeraCrypt? Like I said at the beginning, I’m new to this area of tech so any information you think might be basic or obvious would be greatly appreciated. Hope to chat with some of you soon and thank you for reading!

P.S. - I wonder if the reason why I can’t find much info on the use of YubiKey with VeraCrypt is because it doesn’t provide much extra security and isn’t worth it compared to just using a PIM & keyfile…
