UE5.5 VR valve index inputs not working

Hi all you experts out there. For 3 days now I have tried to get smooth locomotion with my Index controllers in UE5.5. I can see and move my hands and I can rotate using my right thumbstick, but cannot move or reverse or move left or right with my custom enhanced input actions. I’ve been through approx 20 tutorials all using different techniques in the blueprint section, but I just can’t move in any direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It all worked in 4.27 beautifully.
