Thanks! BeamNG also supports PS4 controllers so if you want to have the touchbar as a button you can use that one instead

Not sure why that is, but you can download the mod manually from https://github.com/faddix/BeamNG_DualSense/releases/tag/v2.40 and put it in the repo folder (instructions are in the readme in the github page)
