i am using an oculus quest 2, UIS is registering the button press but not detecting the hold?

my current code is this, i dont really care if it detects it being inside a block i just want it to register the left paddle down

script:WaitForChild("newarm"):WaitForChild("Script")
script.newarm:FireServer("LeftHand")
local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local leftheld = false
local leftitem = nil
local leftHand = character:WaitForChild("LeftHand")
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if inputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL1) then
		print("left paddle down")
		local parts = leftHand:GetTouchingParts()
		for i2,v2 in parts do
			print("iterating")
			for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Interactables:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("BasePart") then
					print("isbase")
					if v2 == v then
						print("item found")
						leftheld = true
						leftitem = v
					end	
				end
			end

		end
	else
		print("paddle not down")
		leftheld = false
		leftitem = nil
	end
	
	if leftheld and leftitem then
		leftitem.Position = leftHand.leftatt.Position
		leftitem.Orientation = leftHand.Orientation
	end
end)

inputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, ret)
	if ret then return end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX then
		game:GetService("VRService"):RecenterUserHeadCFrame()
	end
end)

i had the wrong detection method lol

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if inputService:IsGamepadButtonDown(Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL1) then
		print("left paddle down")
		local parts = leftHand:GetTouchingParts()
		for i2,v2 in parts do
			print("iterating")
			for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Interactables:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("BasePart") then
					print("isbase")
					if v2 == v then
						print("item found")
						leftheld = true
						leftitem = v
					end	
				end
			end

		end
	else
		print("paddle not down")
		leftheld = false
		leftitem = nil
	end
	
	if leftheld and leftitem then
		leftitem.Position = leftHand.leftatt.Position
		leftitem.Orientation = leftHand.Orientation
	end
end)
