Need help with Xinmotek controller in retropie bartop arcade! When I configure inputs for player 1, it messes up bindings of player 2 and vise versa.

I just finished building my arcade and I'm having such a hard time figuring out how to properly map both players bindings.
I bought this xinmo controller and each time I bind the controls for player 1, it shuffles all the buttons for player 2. Same goes for player 2.
So far, I've tried the usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040 fix and to bind all buttons in retroarch but while it fixes the controls inside retroarch, it messes up the bindings in emulation station and if I configure inputs in Emulation Station, it messes up the bindings in retroarch.
I'm running retropie 4.6.8 and retroarch v2.9.1 RP on a raspberry pi 3 B Plus rev 1.3 Does anyone have a solution for this?

This usually happens when P1 and P2 are wired differently. Since the controller appears as 2 gamepads, with the same name, the same configuration applies to both. Once you configure the P1 controller, it will apply to P2 and vice-versa.
Make sure both players are wired identically, so one input on P1 has the same value on P2.

@mitu that is probably it. I did the wiring pretty quick as I thought it made no difference whatsoever since we rebind everything in emulation station. I was very wrong.
Thank you!
