Having to reassign controls on every single launch

Hi! I have a permanent rig setup, with every device on the rig being permanently connected to my PC via the same USB port. When starting AMS2 I have to go through the ordeal of reassigning all my controls. They do not reset, they're still set in the menu, they simply don't work in game unless I reassign every single one. I tried deleting my profile and disabling steam controller input but neither of these things worked. Did anyone else run into this problem?

Not sure if it matters but I have an SC2 Sport with Heusinkveld Sprint, and I interchangeably use a PE LMP wheel over USB and a wireless Ascher wheel.

Edit: I'd like to reiterate that the issue is not with config loss, AMS2 can write to the Documents folder no problem, and my control profiles are always present, when reassigning controls, for example for upshift, the assignment is already there, and when I reassign it doesn't change (so for example upshift is mapped to Button 1, and when I "reassign" it remains as Button 1. Also worth noting - no other game has this problem - LMU, RF2, iRacing, BeamNG, AC, ACC, ACE, EA WRC, also MSFS, MSFS2024, X-Plane 12 - they all use various controls and I'm only having this problem with AMS2.
