2 Joysticks, 2 Triggers, 1 relay, 1 problem

Ok so i have looked at the threads and i found everyone of them to be similar to what i am asking and if it was what i was asking they didn't help much. So i am going to explain thoroughly. I want to have the 2 Triggers on the 2 joysticks controlling 1 relay to go forward when Button 1 of joystick 1 is pressed and reverse when Button 1 of joystick 2 is pressed and Neutral when none are pressed.

What i have done was unbundle both joystick buttons. Wired both button 1 of both Joysticks to their Seperate "select" function(T/F). Created a forward constand and wired it to the True statement of the select function and off for the false statement for the joystick 1. I did the same for joystick 2 but instead of forward i did reverse. i wired the right ends of both of the "Select" functions to a "or" Statement and wired them to the Relay set box.

I thought this would work but the relay doesn't reverse. it only goes in 1 direction.
Can anyone tell me why?

<added info>
I also looked at the digital sidecar and the relay light turns red when i push 1 trigger and the relay turns green when the other is pushed but the relay does not turn green just red
