VKB NXT Active CFG -- Failed

Hello,
I just received the VKB NXT joystick as a gift to replace my VKB Gladiator MK II. I fly Il-2 quite a bit so this was the first sim I have tried to remap
the axis and button commands. I have gotten the sim to recognize the stick axis ( x,y ), but I am having a problem with mapping the buttons.
This is my first time in reaching out for help, usually I can figure this out or find a resolution online however have not been able to remedy this.
The strange part is that in the settings of the sim, the buttons will show and map properly, however when I am flying only the trigger( fire,rapid fire ) , A2 red button, and A1 button
will map properly . The only thing I have noticed differently with this stick ( NXT ) vs my old Gladiator Mk II, is that when I first connected the NXT and opened the VKB Device Config ( v 0.91.54 ),
after calibrating I continue to get the message, " GET NXT ACTIVE CFG- FAILED " below the top box on the right side . It appears to all be working fine in VKB Device Cfg less this one problem and am thinking this may be why some buttons are not working correctly in the sim.
I have tried :
(1) adding User=Developer into Z Cfg file under [ USER ]
(2) flashed to firmware 2.007
(3 ) I have also connected this to my laptop and have had the same reults.
(4) Also, unrelated to the VKB Device Config situation, is that I have checked my " device txt " in the IL-2 "input" folder , and it shows only the 4 controllers I have connected, MFG Crosswind rudder pedals, CH Pro Throttle, CH Throttle Quadrant, and of course the NXT joystick.
Any help would be most appreciated. I love the stick and this is most likely something simple I am overlooking ( hopefully ).
Thank-you !!!!

Check all the buttons and axes in the tester, in VKBDevCfg - if they all work it means there's a problem with binding them in game (maybe you're binding digital to analog or to unavailable controls on some planes?).

Thank-you fallout9 !
Yep, all the keys are showing working properly in the VKB Device Config.
Will, try to get help from developer team with IL-2.
Again thank-you !!
Edit ----- It was the sim having the problem. I ended up deleting the "update" folder in the sim and then restarting the sim and letting it refresh everything.
All is working great now !!!
