Need help with one of the multi-touch gestures

Lots of experience with Mac OS and iOS. But I finally purchased and am learning how to use my first MacBook (Pro). Yay!

This guide to multi-touch gestures was great: Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac - Apple Support

But why is this one command not working for me: To "Open Notification Center Swipe left from the right edge with two fingers to show Notification Center."

Is it just me? Thanks for any clues to what I'm doing incorrectly!

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), macOS Mojave (10.14)

Silly question, but is it enabled under System Preferences->Trackpad->More Gestures?

Hi there! Not silly at all since that entire Trackpad panel was not mentioned in the link I posted and since I'm new to Macbooks, I hadn't yet noticed it in System Prefs. So thanks! Now I can just learn them there, since the same instructions are stated there.

FYI, that gesture was already enabled there. However, I tried it a few more times and finally found the solution, which isn't stated in the instructions at that link. I have to start swiping entirely outside the trackpad.

Thanks anyway! Have a great day!
