Macbook trackpad lower corner clicks not working

We have 2 identical Macbooks (Retina, 12", Early 2015). On one, the lower corner clicks worked correctly and on the other, no response. In researching, I saw something about the 'secondary click' having to be turned on in Preferences under Trackpad. I did this to the one that was working correctly and the clicks stopped working. I turned it off and it did not go back to working again, even after a reboot.

MacBook, macOS 10.14

After a few days and not getting any replies, I dug into it a little more. What I found was that I missed the 'drop down' associated with the 'secondary click' in the Trackpad setup screen. In there was a choice to make the bottom right or bottom left corner of the pad to respond to being pressed. I set up the lower right corner which now, once again, does what the right mouse click does.


So, to whomever is in charge, they can close this thread.
