I Updated my MacBook to sequoia 15.7.5 and now my pad track and Bluetooth mouse are rightclicking when I want to left click. I tried change settings for both on te systems settings but nothing works.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 15.7
Reading very quickly through the report, something stands out: you have software for Wacom tablets.
This being out of date is a very likely cause of trouble with any input methods to your mac.
I suggest you update the Wacom software or uninstall it, then see how things go.
There are still some elements of the software installed and running in the background
Before you proceed, make a Time Machine Backup
Do not attempted below until the backup has been successfully completed
If you have removes the Wacom application you will need to manually remove the left-overs
Most of what follows will be done in the Terminal Application
If you are not familiar with or comfortable using the unforgiving Terminal application
Do Not Proceed
To Unload the launch daemons
Open Terminal and run
sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wacom.*
You will need to enter your password
To Delete Wacom launch daemon files and still in the Terminal application
sudo rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wacom.*
To Remove privileged helper tools
These are exactly what your Etrecheck is listing
Again, while in the Terminal application
sudo rm -rf /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.wacom.*
To Remove the main app + driver
Terminal command below
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Wacom Tablet.localized"
Remove support files which is recommended
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Tablet
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Wacom
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Wacom
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.wacom.*
Restart your Mac to fully clear loaded services.
Verify everything is gone
launchctl list | grep -i wacom
If nothing shows, you are good to go

2 - Trackpad issues
Get rid of this software used to control a Third Party Trackpad

Executable: /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.wacom.UpdateHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/com.wacom.UpdateHelper
3 - Mouse issues
Depends on who made this Bluetooth Mouse
Check with the developer of this mouse for updated softwares used to control their this Bluetooth Mouse
That, or use an Apple Bluetooth Magic Mouse that works out of the box
After a few restarts, the trackpad is working correctly. I uninstall the Wacom software, as I'm currently don't using it, just in case. Still I'm not sure what is causing the problem.
After I installed Sequoia a couple days ago, it work ok, but today it didn't. I'm afraid the problem reapears later.
Builtin Apple Trackpad >>
Choose a gesture to use for a secondary click (also called Control-click on Mac or right-click on Windows).
Apple Bluetooth Mouse
Choose which side of the mouse to click for a secondary click (also called Control-click on Mac or right-click on Windows).
In regards to your Bluetooth Mouse
Who is the Maker of this mouse ?
On my M5 Apple computer and using the Apple Builtin Trackpad
Those setting I referenced work
Using an Apple Bluetooth Magic Mouse on this same machine
Those setting I referenced work
Battery failure - Your battery is reporting that it needs to be serviced.
This is very serious, and quite likely the cause of your troubles! Sorry that I missed it the first time around.
The Wacom software may have been involved, or not, in the problem; but regardless, not only the battery could be causing this (as it sits right underneath the trackpad), but if left unaddressed it may cease to work altogether, leaving you with a tethered mac.
Run a New report and post it
Just to check if all the software was truly removed

Predicated on user byline " MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 15.7 "
This computer does have a Builtin Trackpad though it does not have " Bluetooth mouse " out of the box
Change Trackpad settings on Mac
" Choose which side of the mouse to click for a secondary click (also called Control-click on Mac or right-click on Windows). "
I already tried changing the settings of the builtin trackpad and still makes a right click when you press the pad. Similarly, I change the settings of the wireless mouth and still does right click if you press either left or right
