Rocket league: xbox controller not working

Hi i'm trying to transition to Pop! Os from windows but since epic games doesn't directly support linux, i was recommended to use heroic. one of the games i play with friends is rocket league, so i installed that on there. While my xbox controller works for heroic games (the launcher) itself, as well as other steam games and other EG launcher games on Heroic, it's not working for rocket league except for the very first title screen that says "press any button". I can press any button including the ones on my xbox and it registers, however when i'm in the menus or in the game it doesn't register my xbox inputs anymore and i have to use a keyboard and mouse to navigate.

It was working fine on windows with epic games, i've got no clue what the issue could be. tried different wine installations/proton. I tried using Lutris as well but epic games and therefore rocket league straight up doesn't launch there so no luck there either
