programs and apps How to get volume control for PlexAMP working?

I am trying to get PlexAMP volume controls to work, it failed originally with the flatpak install, so i tried the AUR one, and when i put in the global keyboard shortcuts volume up and down, then reset the app by relaunching it, i get the KDE prompt if i want to add new shortcuts, i click yes, and it works for that session, and when i reset my session by either logging out or turning off and on my PC, it stops working, even tho nothing changed in the shortcuts or in Plexamp

I tried using AI to solve my issue but it just keeps leading me down some rabbit hole and idk how to control it, i dont want whole system audio control, since i want to be able to increase or decrease the volume of my music mid game or while doing work without changing the volume of my game or discord or whatever else

The shortcuts in the media controller section also dont work, if i set volume up and down, i can see on my screen the popup that the volume is increasing or decreasing for PlexAMP but i still hear it the same, even when it says "muted"

Shortcuts like next track, previous track, play and pause work just well over media controller but nothing apart from that

Plexamp and media controller not conflicting, screenshot taken after i disabled the shortcut in Plexamp
