Vive controller input not working

Question

I'm trying to put Vive controller input using the native unity input system and it is not registering any button presses on the Vive controllers. I'm using unity 2018.2.10f1 and have Steam VR in my project. The controllers are visible in play mode and I have a raycast script on them that is working to point at things, but I am not able to register any button presses.

The input settings I have in the project alt text

The code where I'm using it

         print(Input.GetButton("SelectObject")); //debug to see if I'm getting any input from Vive
         if ((Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Input.GetKeyDown("joystick button 0")) && affectedSphere.sphereHover && !affectedSphere.sphereHit)

My full script

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class ControllerRaycast : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public string interactionItemTag = "SoundObject";
 
     SoundObject affectedSphere;
     bool sphereInteraction;
 
     private void Start()
     {
         affectedSphere = FindObjectOfType<SoundObject>(); //used to prevent errors with no selected sound object
     }
 
     void Update () {
         RaycastHit hit;
         Ray pointerRay = new Ray(transform.position, transform.forward);
         Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.forward, Color.green);
 
 
         print(Input.GetButton("SelectObject")); //debug to see if I'm getting any input from Vive
         if ((Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Input.GetKeyDown("joystick button 0")) && affectedSphere.sphereHover && !affectedSphere.sphereHit)
         {
             print("mouse click");
             SphereActivate();
         }
         if (!sphereInteraction)
         {
             if (Physics.Raycast(pointerRay, out hit))
             {
                 if (hit.collider.tag == interactionItemTag)
                 {
                     affectedSphere = hit.collider.GetComponent<SoundObject>();
                     if (!affectedSphere.sphereHit)
                         SphereHover();
                 }
             }
         }
         else if (!affectedSphere.sphereHit)
         {
             if (Physics.Raycast(pointerRay, out hit))
             {
                 if (hit.collider.tag != interactionItemTag)
                 {
                     SphereExit();
                 }
             }
             else
             {
                 SphereExit();
             }
         }
     }
 
     void SphereHover()
     {
         affectedSphere.sphereHover = true;
         sphereInteraction = true;
         affectedSphere.ObjectHover();
     }
 
     void SphereExit()
     {
         affectedSphere.sphereHover = false;
         sphereInteraction = false;
         affectedSphere.ObjectExit();
     }
 
     void SphereActivate()
     {
         affectedSphere.sphereHit = true;
         sphereInteraction = false;
         affectedSphere.ObjectActivate();
     }
 
     void SphereDeactivate()
     {
         affectedSphere.sphereHit = false;
         affectedSphere.ObjectDeactivate();
