[Solved] Asus q501la No Touchpad Right Click

Running Arch with Cinnamon.  The settings in Cinnamon's Touchpad Settings all work fine: 2/3 finger emulation, scrolling, etc.  But the actual physical clicking the lower part of the touchpad anywhere results in a left click.  The right/middle sides do not work, they just perform a left click.  2 finger right click emulation is working, but I prefer to physically "click".  Touchpad is FocalTech and here is the touchpad section of my libinput list-devices:

Device:           FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech Touchpad
Kernel:           /dev/input/event10
Group:            12
Seat:             seat0, default
Size:             69x50mm
Capabilities:     pointer 
Tap-to-click:     disabled
Tap-and-drag:     enabled
Tap drag lock:    disabled
Left-handed:      disabled
Nat.scrolling:    disabled
Middle emulation: disabled
Calibration:      n/a
Scroll methods:   *two-finger edge 
Click methods:    *button-areas clickfinger 
Disable-w-typing: enabled
Accel profiles:   none
Rotation:         n/a

Note that it says tap to click is disabled, which it's not. Tap to click is working fine. Also under Click Methods there is an asterisk next to button areas.  Could this be the issue?  Where is the config file for a focaltech touchpad?

Edit: Solved I'm an idiot.  I had to disable the 2 & 3 finger emulations in Cinnamon's settings. That brought full clicking options back to the lower "click" areas.  Working now.  Apparently it's one or the other.
