VR Locomotion Not Working UE5

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi,
I’m currently using UE5 to create a VR environment. As a result I’m creation some locomotion in for it using C++ but as a result when I implement it (followed tutorials etc) it doesn’t work.
I’ve set up the Axis Mapping correctly and as a result it either moves to in one direction and not the other or just moves opposite to what is already being inputted.

I’m currently using the HTC Vive and it’s just unusual as I feel that the input has been specified correctly for it so then as a result it should be allowing for the correct movement.

Thank you for any input that is able to be given on this issue which I’m having.
