Issue with virtual gamepad

Hello! I've had sunshine for a long time, and it always worked just fine. But I wanted to try Apollo - simply so I could close my laptop and play at the same time.

So, I uninstalled sunshine, and installed Apollo. Everything seemed fine until my virtual gamepad stopped working. What gets me, is when I uninstalled sunshine, it asked if I wanted to uninstall 'Virtual game pad' or something as well. I figured since the instructions were to fully uninstall sunshine, I probably should, right? Maybe not.

Tried reinstalling vigembus - about six different times. No version seems to work. Yes, I restarted my pc after each install. Reinstalling sunshine doesn't fix it. What can I do? Really annoyed I broke my virtual gamepad trying to do a QOL improvement lol
