install header-package in container

Why?
You need to add e.g. the non-subscription repository to your container and install the headers then.
okay;
A software install process asks me to install
apt install linux-headers-`uname -r` which is then
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.13.19-6-pve
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-5.13.19-6-pve'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-5.13.19-6-pve'
my sources-list looks like this ...
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian bullseye pve-no-subscription
deb http://security.debian.org bullseye/updates main contrib
Still the same problem

In this case you need to use a VM and not a a container.
A container cannot manage the kernel as the container uses just the kernel from the host.
See more on https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pct.html
What exactly?
You can also copy the headers from the host to the guest. But keep in mind that you will not be able to load the module from the guest. So if your software requires the module in order to run, it won't be able to run in your container either, so you should, as @tom already suggested, move to a VM.
On a side note: You are mixing buster (Debian 10) and bullseye (Debian 11) repositories, which you should not do.
