Stuck in RGUI

I’ve spent over an hour searching for a solution or some sort of help online to no avail. I just downloaded Retro Arch and loaded a ROM. I’m greeted with this every time I load the game and I can’t seem to get past it, or figure out a way to map my keys. I have tried every single overlay and I cant get any of the overlays to show up. None of my phone buttons will let me advance. I feel like i’m missing something so trivial I’ll feel like an idiot for not noticing it.

Can you push the home button on your phone/device then open your recent apps menu and swipe away retroarch. Now re-open retroarch and go to the input settings and enable the overlay you want or map your controller before opening a rom since apparently your controller is not being automatically detected (if you’re trying to use a controller).

Wow. I swear I tried that already but for some reason that worked. Thank you sir.
