Nvidia HDR and Controller issues

question
Interesting Bazzite issue with my controllers that I'm hoping someone here might know the answer to:

I'm using Bazzite with Nvidia and

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

Works perfectly to give me HDR in every game I've tested it with. However, in some cases, I (Wuchang, Witcher 3, for example), I lose the ability to use my gamepad, on others, like Elden Ring, it works perfectly

Now, here's the interesting part.

I have two gamepads, A GameSir G7 Pro and an 8bitDo Ultimate 2. If I don't use the augment above, both controllers work fine connected by 2.4GHz dongle. If I do use the augment above to get HDR, neither controller works via the dongle. However, if I add:

PROTON_DISABLE_HIDRAW=1

which forces native use of the controller without Steam Input, the 8BitDo controller works fine via Bluetooth, but the Gamesir still won't work.

I understand that the argument that I'm using to get HDR via Wayland native bypasses a few things in Steam, including Steam Input, but I can't understand why the 8BitDo works just fine, but the GameSir G7 won't. If I check the Game Controller settings in Bazzite, each controller will show up and work just fine when connected, so at the very least Bazzite recognizes both controllers without Steam having to translate the input.

Any ideas on how I could fix this issue?
