Vmix + Companion + Stream Deck + Google Sheets

Hello! I have been struggling with this for many hours and have watched a lot of videos but cannot seem to crack this. I am trying to program my stream deck with a "Next" and "Previous" button to toggle through lower thirds (which I'm bringing in through Google Sheets) in preview on Vmix. I am not using Bitfocus Companion as a plugin, but natively with the streamdeck software closed. When I go to edit, say, the "Next Title" button, I have selected for my Actions "vmix:DataSource-Next Row". For the "Name, Table" I put in "Google Sheets, 2-line" with 2-line being the title of the first tab in google sheets which is what I want to toggle through. The buttons don't do anything, so obviously this connection doesn't work and I am wondering what step I am missing. Do I need to bring in "Google Sheets" as a "Connection?" This could also be an easy fix where I am not typing the correct "Name, Table" or maybe the "Action" is incorrect. I was able to program this very easily with X-keys (just assigned the input number), but am getting tripped up here with the Stream Deck + Companion. There is no place in the "Actions" tab for me to say which input I am trying to access. Any help or advice would be so greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

It was brought in as a data source through "Data Sources Manager" and works perfectly within Vmix (linking the google sheet), but only by manually advancing the lines with my mouse clicking on arrows in data sources manager. I would like to be able to program shortcuts/buttons on my stream deck so my director can easily toggle through the google sheet list in preview (selecting the correct lower 3rd) before adding the correct title as an overlay. My goal is to completely control a production through the stream deck and not have to use the mouse. I just have this one broken link where I can't seem to get Companion to recognize this connection between vmix, google sheets, and my stream deck.

The preset button actions I am using are "vmix:DataSource - Next Row" and "vmix:DataSource - Previous Row." I've assigned the buttons and the actions, it's just not triggering the buttons to work (Scrolling through my google sheets in preview). Is there another Connection I need to make in the Companion GUI?
