Apple Pay on Apple Watch Ultra 2 not working while Hand Gestures are enabled with Assistive Touch - Watch OS 10

I upgraded my watch last week from an Apple Watch Series 8 to an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I set up with the new watch with Apple Pay as soon as I got it and used it successfully shortly thereafter. Over the weekend I set up assistive touch hand gestures for my watch, and since then I've been unable to use Apple Pay with my watch. I've already restarted my phone, watch, and cycled the settings for the hand gestures. Kind of a big deal since one of the main reasons I switched to the more expensive Ultra line was to be able to go out sans phone, and hand gestures were an emphasized feature on the keynote. Can someone please help me?

Im having same issue, no tap to pay after hand gestures was turned on. I did turn off ‘confirm with assistive touch’ and assitive touch in general. Still will not work even after a restart. To be clear, i double tap and my card pops up. But it doesnt actually interact with the card reader anymore.
