Bug, can't give podium to mayor

There is an game breaking bug in My Sims on switch, I cannot give the podium to the mayor as the give button does not appear. I press left or right on my D pad, I have the podium in my backpack, but I only get options to talk, be nice or be mean. This means I cannot progress in the game. I have tried twice now, and it will not work. 

The D pad works perfectly well when building, so it is not my controller. Please fix this bug urgently as I want to be able to play. 

Also the switch controls are really unintuitive, the right stick should rotate the camera not move the cursor. Left stick should do that. And how to do some things is not explained anywhere at all, for example resizing building blocks, which should be on the D pad. We need an better building tutorial that explains how to resize blocks, how to make blocks link up etc. Also please give option to turn off intrusive nag screens and tutorial pop ups. I played the wii version and the controls were better.
