Hi Pat,
I'm Amr, an independent advisor.
It seems your Controller needs to be configured on Steam
In Steam, hit Steam, then Settings, Controller, and then open General Controller Settings.
This will open a window, use it window to activate the controller by checking the box next to Xbox Configuration Support
Also, refer to this video to guide you on how to Customize Your Controller Settings on Steam
