Help please. New to mac. Playing Overcooked 2! on a Macbook with a PS5 controller wont recognize controller in game

Hello everyone i'm trying to get this sorted out before college so I have an easy way to play games on my mac in my dorm.

I am able to connect my controller to my computer and can even interact with steam in big picture mode but once I launch overcooked i get stuck on the starting screen where it prompts me to hit the X button on the controller to continue. I've hit all the buttons on the controller and failed to start the game. I did notice that in game if i hit the playstation logo button i am able to pull uo the steam overlay.

I've done a bit of research online and have already done the following:
- Used my controller plugged in (have used it this way for the rest of these attempts)
- Launched the game using the controller in steam big picture mode
- Given steam accessibility permissions
- Tried with steam input setting enabled and disabled

Thank you for all your effort and time everyone it really means lot. I am new to mac so my apologizes in advance for that.

My Mac does recognize the controller and lets me use it in games outside of steam. It might be that I can’t use this controller in overcooked but I’ve also tried a GameSir controller and wasn’t able to get it to work. Additionally I tried using both controllers in brawlhalla and wasn’t able to get it to work
