YARG won't recognize my Guitar Hero controller

I'm running YARG as an appimage (https://github.com/YARC-Official/YARC-Launcher/releases/tag/v1.2.0) and it refuses to recognize my Guitar Hero controller (XBox 360 Xplorer). When the game launches I see an in game notification to the effect of "Red Octane Xplorer disconnected" and the controller isn't listed as an available device to bind in the profile menu. This is the case in both the current stable and nightly builds. The controller's inputs register in jstest and it actually works fully in Clone Hero save for a weird issue with the whammy always being activated just a bit. So the controller fully works (it works under Windows without any issues) and it seems to generally work in Linux, just not YARG. YARG is my preferred Guitar Hero/Rock Band replacement so I'd really like to get that working. I feel like this is some kind of permission issue or something but I'm still pretty green when it comes to gaming on Linux so I'm not really sure. Hopefully the solution is obvious to someone here. Thanks for the help
