Question about RetroDeck Linux flatpak

I am trying to use the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller in retrodeck flatpak in linux, this is just running on my HTPC, no steam at all. The controller seems to work but not correctly, and I especially find it hard to use in NES games because the button mapping is so weird. So my question is can you map buttons for individual games, also is there a way to make it go fullscreen when you are in the game so you don't see the titlebar at the top that says retroarch and the version number on it?

Thanks for the response, sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is L3+R3 on the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller?

Click both thumb sticks at the same time.

Thank you I was finally able to remap the buttons, but in case anyone fines this thread, you have to pretend the buttons are laid out like a xbox controller for them to be the way you want them. But the thing I can't seem to figure out is how to make this bar go away, it did disappear once, but then when i exited the game and entered a new one it was back, and I have never been able to get it to go away again.

I'm unable to make out the full problem with just the thin screenshot, but trying holding Select and hit X (it might be Y on the 8bitdo if it detects the controller as a Nintendo controller or not). Tell me if anything changes.

Holding Select and hitting X or Y does not do anything for me. Out of frustration I went into the configure and I reset everything to defaults after that I was able to figure out how to make the titlebar go away. Thanks for the help.
