I would suggest Plex HTPC on the deck instead, since it works really well with the deck's gamepad in the normal gaming mode. Touch also works but should probably be considered a last resort IMO

Sorry, I couldn't remember the abbreviations, it is PLEX HTPC installed... :(
Is this in game mode or in desktop mode? Either way, have you tried setting a control profile for it that will let you do keyboard inputs through the dpad/buttons?
Someone else may have already uploaded a profile set up for it as well.
The control set up is with the ,box controller, shows the controller, but nothing happens in-app
