[UE5] can't get found footage VR working with take recorder

Hey I’ve been trying to create a found footage short film using unreal but I am running into several big issues. My goal for the project was to use my right VR controller as the controller for the camera, so I tried attaching a camera inside the default gun Blueprint, and then using the Take Recorder to record that camera, but once the take recorder starts all the inputs for the VR character controller immediately stop working, including picking up objects, teleporting, and the smooth turning and movement I added to the character controller. I’ve been at this for hours but haven’t gotten any closer to finding a solution.

Am I even using the right tool in Unreal for what I want to do? Does Unreal have the tools available for me to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I didn’t add anything for screenshots but this problem is kinda hard to explain or show in a still image, plus I don’t think the modifications to the character controller are the cause.
