I am new at using vr template but want to understand about valve index controller setup

I am very new at using unreal engine, and am mainly in need of having someone who does understand this point me in the direction of what to look for and learn in order to understand it better myself

In particular, I have loaded up a default VR template scene, and entered ‘play’ mode while using a valve index. The controllers appear in the scene as being vive controllers instead of the valve ones, and they don’t seem to have certain functionality

I can walk and turn and teleport with the thumbsticks, but none of the buttons or grips are having any effect. It looks like I’m supposed to be able to do things like pick up objects but it won’t do that.

Can anyone help me understand if I have to map the controller or buttons in some way? I don’t know the first thing about this so just speaking in general terms about what I have to go specifically learn about to get it solved is also useful.

Thank you
