Flaps don't work on my HOTAS- help!

I run a Cougar HOTAS and I am using Foxy programming, I allocated  F6 and F7 to a two buttons but they don't work when flying.
However, if i use the mouse to set flaps to say first stage take off, then the button will work to retract them!
Also, these two buttons are also not accepted if I go to allocate them in the Assignments menu. I press the joystick button to allocate and nothing is entered.

I am beginning to believe that this is something to do with the Concorde nose thingy, which is associated with the flaps  functions.
That, or a bug in FS 2002.

Does anyone know if and how I can fix this, please?

Found out the answer  - It was to do with trackIR- They were hot keys F6 and F7, so they were "muted" in the Sim.  Duh!
