Bb shows the directories in which it looked for the patch file... It found that. It's the file to patch that quilt can't find:
NOTE: Applying patch 'something.patch' (../meta-something/recipes-core/recipe-name/files/something.patch)
....
can't find file to patch at input line 3
perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
...
It does not show the directories in which it tried to find the target file
Maybe you could provide me an example patch file?

Hello.
If you have some <recipe>.bb in some layer and <files/your.patch> for
it in your layer, you should also create in your layer
<recipe>.bbappend with the contents like:
| FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
| SRC_URI:append = " \
| file://your.patch \
| "
