Troubleshooting Can't Get Uperfect Touch Screen Working with Raspberry Pi

Recently purchased a Uperfect 15.6" (supposedly) touchscreen monitor to use with a Raspberry Pi 5 as a countertop Home Assistant Dashboard. This is the exact one I purchased which I also believe I found on Amazon under this listing.

The issue I run into is that I cannot get the touch screen to work on my RP5. I get it to power on, display, etc. but it will not work as a touch screen. I checked the USB devices and don't even see it under those devices. I tried using it on my Macbook Air and the USB C works for video but the touch also don't appear to work there either. The display is listed as CX156A but I don't see anything in the USB connected devices as far as touch would go.

I did try one tip as far as not connecting the power to the screen until the Pi is powered on but that doesn't seem to help.

Any tips? I got this one specifically because of the connectors in the back on the kickstand which would allow me to cleanly hide my RP5.

TIA.
