Openssl1.1.1 function not providing error reason

I'm using a RHEL 8 machine to try to run an application which makes use of the openssl1.1.1 package provided by RedHat. I am trying to use a function specified in /usr/include/openssl/fips.h called FIPS_selftest() but am not able to see the errors I get as a result of using the function.

I would expect that the function logs stuff somewhere when things go wrong but I'm not seeing anything in /var/log/messages nor in /var/log/fips.log. Where else might I be able to track down the reason for a failure during this function call?
