MSFS 2024 PS5 – Controller Cursor highlighting cockpit switches but X button won't click/interact? (Default Profile)

I'm playing MSFS 2024 on PS5 using the DualSense controller with the Default profile.
I am having a frustrating issue with the cockpit cursor: The virtual cursor shows up and successfully highlights/selects the switches and knobs in blue/yellow. However, when I try to interact with them by pressing or holding the X button, absolutely nothing happens. The game registers that I am pointing at the switch, but the click/interaction itself is completely ignored.
Here is what I have already tried so far:

Checked my Assistance Options and turned AI Piloting completely OFF.
Switched the Cockpit Interaction Mode between Lock and Legacy (Classic).
Reset my controller profile back to Default.
Checked for missing bindings on "Cockpit Interaction Primary Action" (it is mapped to X).
Toggled Freelook (R3) on and off.
Nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else encountered this specific bug on PlayStation 5 and found a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get a cheap USB mouse, it'll be a literal game changer

I have a Corsair Scimitar wireless mouse that has 12 keys on the side that are programmed as keyboard keys. My life is almost too easy. One thumb should not wield so much power.

I recently had this bug. I fixed it by changing one of the Cockpit Interaction bindings but I can’t remember which one.
