${PTHREADS} and ${OPENSSL} seems wrong
usually those are:
${PTHREADS_LIBRARIES}
${OPENSSL_LIBRARIES}

moreover you cannot use install(TARGETS ....) for those
because they are not TARGET unless you somehow define
them as IMPORTED library.

Usually "third party" libs (those which are not built in your project)
are not installed because they may be found on the host where
your software is installed already.

If you are interested in creating "autonomous" bundle
have a look at the BundleUtilities module.

May be you can tell us which version of CMake you are using
and which system you are targeting (Windows, Linux, MacOS Xetc...)
