Can't get controller to work for Dead Rising 2 (reddthat.com)

I'm using Heroic launcher to play games lately, otherwise have used Lutris or Steam or Faugus etc. I got Dead Rising 2 and have run into this issue of it won't register (in game) that I'm using a controller, or would like to. In all the other games that I have played on any of these platforms, controller support is wonderful. I'm running CachyOS on my machine, so no issues here either. This particular problem had persisted despite using CachyOS, Nobara, PikaOS, or standard Ubuntu. I'm about to start pulling my hair out as I don't know what's causing this. Everything is up to date, and runs smoothly otherwise. I just can't get this game to let me use the controller I have. It even has settings in game specifically for controllers. What do I do? Thank you.

I attempted this, however I'm still having the same controller issue. Is there a way to look for community layouts for specific games? It doesn't seem to give me that option, let alone register that I'm using a controller with the exception of enabling big picture mode with the Home button.

If you name the game correctly in your library steam should be able to show community layouts for the game.

I don't know how it would only register the home button. Is it a weird controller?

I mean, I guess it's not a major brand or anything but it's nice for what it is. How to you rename the game? All it seemed to give me an option for was just adding the exe and that was it.

(Edit) it's a Gamesir {Zikway}

Ive never heard of those controllers before, but they look legit at a glance. If they have the xbox api it should be fine.
