Can't place session marker

I'm playing on ps5 pro and during the full pull tour at the tricks and flips section, I can't seem to place down a session marker

I am told to hold it on the d pad and nothing is happening. I know for a fact its not my controller as that button works no problem in other games. 

If anyone has any insight or has come across this issue and was able to fix it, please let me know ASAP

Thanks!
