my Thrustmaster T248 not responding with Assetto Corsa Competizione

The D-pad and square, triangle, circle and X buttons all work fine in the menu and even when getting onto the circuit you can see the throttle and brake pedals showing activity in the bottom left of the screen but it doesn't actually move the car. I just bought the wheel and it works great and super easy to mess with the setting with F1 2023, WRC 10 and Gran Turismo 7 but ACC is just isn't responding. Im new to the whole Sim Racing thing so I was wondering if anybody has had the same issue or is it something i'm doing incorrectly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
