Problem with Brailliant BI-40-X not entering braille correctly

When entering text in grade 2 braille, my Brailliant BI-40-x seems to just enter the first letter of the sign I put in, even though my input and output tables are both set to contracted braille. Even after disconnecting it, using different tables, such as RTFC, SYSTEM, etc, I still seem to be having the problem.
An example is if I do the TH sign to write: "this", after the space I simply have a letter T.
This is not the case when I read from the display, but typing is a no go.
I'd really appreciate any help.

1 where are you seeing this? Give specific examples you will get better help.
2 What iOS version are you running?
3 Have you reached out to Apple accessibility?

1. This happens in all textfields. I can be in mail, notes, or Chat GPT. Where ever I have to type, I'm unable to type grade 2 braille.
2. I'm running IOS 26.1 and also running the latest firmwhere for the brailliant.
3. I have not as of yet reached out to Apple accessibility. I thought I'd reach out here first, to see if anyone had any suggestions.
