Trying to disable steam big picture mode

Is there any way to stop big picture mode from opening up when I press my Xbox home button? I have every possible big picture mode setting turned off and skipped the home button in the test inputs setting too. That worked for me before but doesn't now. I like to use Xbox game bar to manually control audio settings across the app/tabs open and would like big picture mode to not open every time I try to do that. I'd like to manually turn my controller off as well by holding the home button without big picture mode opening up.

Steam settings > controller settings > disable "guide button to focuses steam".

I have a couple Xbox Series controllers. Tried that "disable guide button" thing and it never works. I've recently done this on 3 computers and each time, guide button still opened BP mode. What I have to do is to use Steam input to map the buttons and when it gets to the Guide button, skip it.

Edit: Steam, Settings, Controller, Test Device Inputs - Begin Test, Setup Device Inputs. From there, press every button to confirm, but skip the Guide Button (I believe A to skip). I also skip the Capture button.
