issues with Huion H610PRO

I've been using this H610 tablet for the past 3 or so years now, it's always been a bit glitchy and generally frustrating, so i decided to look into how I could fix it. Everywhere said that I should update the driver, so i did, but the only driver that seemed to work though was the v12(?) which is a little old(Im worried this might be the issue, but it was the only compatible driver). 

But since I installed it the pen doesn't seem to work at all on photoshop specifically. I can still move the cursor around and click and select different tools with it, but if i click any of the buttons on the pen, or try to make any brushstrokes or anything like that, nothing at all happens. I tested it out on some other painting programs and it seems to work fine? except when i test the pen pressure in the Huion program, the brushstroke doesn't show up there either.

So far what ive tried is:

unistalling and reinstalling the tablet driver (multiple times)

restarting my computer

fixing settings in the Windows Ink Settings

checking & unchecking the Support TablePC (multiple times)

installing different versions of the huion driver (none of which connected except v12)

and pretty much everything else i could find online ive tried. if you have any ideas or suggestions on what i should do, please let me know!
