Summary
Since the v42.40 update, the Touch Control Layout Override widget in UEFN no longer applies custom touchscreen control positions or icon overrides correctly. The touch controls remain functional, but changes configured through the widget are not reflected in-game.
This appears to be a regression introduced in v42.40, affecting the customization of mobile HUD controls.

Additional Notes
I also tried toggling the new Apply Canvas Transform option on and off, but it didn’t make any difference.
