Dolphin pull down menu issues

[Balisong180]

I'm trying to use the emulator on a Note 9. It opens and runs but I can't swipe down to access the in game dolphin menu. Swiping down pulls down my android menu, but not the dolphin menu. I've uninstalled, deleted all files, and reinstalled it a couple of times. I also tried installing it from the play store and the newest versionfrom this site. It's probably something stupid I'm doing wrong, but I've been messing with it for a while and I'm getting really frustrated. Any help would be appreciated.
