Help with ender 3 max neo config sliders not working

hey all,

i have recently been setting up a pi3 to run klipper and it going well so far but i am having i believe some troubles with the printers config

i found this config online and had got it working for most of the things it needs (moving axis, heating, extrusion) but i cant seem to get any of the sliders working (the fans and the speed are the two i tested with no change) so im wondering if anyone may be able to help? here is my current config

# !Ender-3 Max Neo
# printer_size: 300x300x340
# version: 3.6
# This file contains pin mappings for the stock 2020 Creality Ender 3
# MAX. To use this config, during "make menuconfig" select the
# STM32F103 with a "28KiB bootloader" and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)
# communication.

# Because this printer has factory wiring, mounts, and firmware for
# a BLTouch, but does not ship with one at this time, default values
# for the sensor have been specified, but disabled, in anticipation of
# future revisions or user modification. User should take care to
# customize the offsets, particularly z-offset, for their specific unit.

# Flash this firmware by copying "out/klipper.bin" to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The firmware
# filename must end in ".bin" and must not match the last filename
# that was flashed.

# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.
