Kodi not recognizing input controlled

Hi guys. I’m not new with kodi but was having problems with functions following the update of 17.3 arm on my fire tv so I deleted the app completely figuring I’d rebuild it from scratch and when I run the initial boot it doesn’t recognize the remote control and asks if I would like to configure it now. Unfortunately it leaves me stuck. The download is the kodi 17.3 armeabi-v7a.apk . I’m guessing a setting it set wrong in the default file. I downloaded it from bit.ly/kodi173

Anyone have a solution for me or a suggestion ?

Thanks for your help
