Niri and system aren't communicating

I've done a full arch and niri installations with no problems. The Bluetooth drivers and sound drivers, and TLP are working as they're supposed to.

However, whenever I try to interact with sound or power saving settings through the buttons/switches at the top right corner of the screen, I always encounter either an error or nothing at all.

The reason why I'm posting this on r/niri is that I'm able to do those things though the terminal, so I thought it might be a niri thing.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance <3
