Wii Remote pointer isn't working with a Genuine Wii remote

[BittahBandit]

I'm trying to get my pointer in Mario Kart Wii to show up, and it's not working. I've tried two different WiiMotes, I've tried resetting and using different builds of Dolphin, and I've tried resetting my PC multiple times. I am trying the candle method because I don't wanna buy a USB sensor bar and there's videos of it working online. Why won't it work now?

What is the position of the wiimote/candles?

Two candles in front of the monitor, about 3 or 4 feet away from the Wii Remote.
