Moton Controller Input Broken

Trying to work with the motion controller but it seems a lot of the input don’t work. Motion Controller Face button 5, 6, 7, 8 don’t seem to work. I assumed these would be the angle buttons on the trackpad which I kinda really need right now…
Thumbstick up, down, left, right doesn’t work but could be worked around with Thumbstick X/Y.

So if I wanted to use the full range of the trackpad right now I can only do it through Thumbstick X/Y, which means button pressing is out of the question? Is there a work around to use 8 directional button pressing on the trackpad? Is this a bug, does it work in 4,16?
