i tried that but it wouldn't let me select it... should i record what happens and send it over?
You need to use keyboard controls or another method to start that process. Here's a graphic to explain those.
Once you have that selected it will ask you to press a button on the controller you want to configure and then you can just follow the on-screen instructions. At the end you'll get to a summary screen where you can add/remove more inputs, set a name and icon, and then save the binding. Hope that helps!
