Pressing two on-screen buttons at the same time, with the same touch - Android Unity Event-Triggers

OK so I have this code working and the methods are being called at the times I'd expected (ie. when the mouse hovers over the button and stops hovering over it)

But when I test it on an Android device, it is not possible to press both buttons at once. The only button that gets pressed is the one where the touch-down happened.

 public class EventHandlerThrust : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
  {
  public static EventHandlerThrust instanceOf;
 
  [HideInInspector] public bool isButtonPressed = false;
 
  void Start()
  {
      instanceOf = this;
 
  }
 
  public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
  {
      isButtonPressed = true;
      Debug.Log("OnPointerEnter Interfaceyyyy called.");
  }
 
  public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
  {
      isButtonPressed = false;
      Debug.Log("OnPointerExit Interfaceyyyy called.");
  }

So is it possible to allow the user to press both buttons by holding his thumb over both at the same time, using the Event Trigger System? Or do I have to implement some other kind of Input system?
