richt click of touchpad not working

Hi,
recently i noticed the right click of my touch pad is not working anymore. Its really weird cause i haven't touched X11 settings or synaptic in a long time.
I did recently switch to the linux-hardened kernel and the nvida-dkms driver. Thats the only thing i changed before i noticed that i cant right click.
If i take a look with xev i don't get feedback when i press my right the right touch pad button.
I can verify that the touchpad itself is not broken because it works properly when i boot up an ubuntu live environment.
This is my synaptics configuration

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf 
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "3"
        Option "TapButton3" "2"
        Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
        Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
        Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"

Does anyone know how i can resolve this issue or where i can find additional information?

Cheers,
Philip

EDIT: The issue only seems to appear with the linux-hardened kernel and nvidia dkms
