Your TapButton settings are all 0. You probably want some
combination of 1 , 2 , 3.

  TapButton1              = 0
  TapButton2              = 0
  TapButton3              = 0

To change the scrolling direction, I seem to remember that

   VertScrollDelta         = 46

should be made negative.

After you experiment and find out the settings that work for
you, make them permanent with the techniques here:
