Daydream VR Issue Motion Controller

Problem: Once package is loaded onto phone, stereoscopic view successfully appears.
Then prompted to click the motion controller. Upon clicking, player is kicked back to the phone screen with the package icon. When in play in VR mode, everything works great.
I’ve tested packaging in all Android ETC1, ATC, etc. All of them. Same thing happens.
I tried with the template. Didn’t work.
I tried creating a clean, blank project with no starter content. Worked great in VR Preview Mode, did not work once put on a phone. Only got the place in Daydream headset message and the message to click the motion controller.
Phone is Samsung S8 - no sim card. This was purchased specifically to use with Daydream. Latest Android installed. All apps up to date.
