Cannot map the c buttons for n64 games

hi so i bought a n64 type controller today for n64 games called a 'retro-bit tribute 64'

obviously the n64 controllers have extra buttons in places and a lack of right analogue etc.

I managed to map it in any other emulator/frontend no problem but i cant do it in retrobat/emulationstation no matter what i do

this is my config for that controller from es_input.cfg

<inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="Controller (Dinput)" deviceGUID="03000000632500007505000000000000">
<input name="a" type="button" id="2" value="1" />
<input name="b" type="button" id="9" value="1" />
<input name="down" type="hat" id="0" value="4" />
<input name="hotkey" type="button" id="7" value="1" />
<input name="joystick1left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1" />
<input name="joystick1up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1" />
<input name="joystick2down" type="button" id="3" value="1" />
<input name="joystick2left" type="button" id="0" value="1" />
<input name="l2" type="button" id="6" value="1" />
<input name="left" type="hat" id="0" value="8" />
<input name="pagedown" type="button" id="5" value="1" />
<input name="pageup" type="button" id="4" value="1" />
<input name="right" type="hat" id="0" value="2" />
<input name="start" type="button" id="12" value="1" />
<input name="up" type="hat" id="0" value="1" />
<input name="x" type="button" id="8" value="1" />
<input name="y" type="button" id="1" value="1" />
</inputConfig>

i had to manually edit in the joystick 2 functions as i followed guides on youtube etc, but they simply just do not work, can anybody help me out with this? thanks in advance.

Does anyone know because i'm about to refund the controller, i can't find how to change these controls and i have searched the forum and faq up and down and cannot find anything.
