The click doesn't seem to work

[Jhingoor]

I have the below code to click on the setting icon button, I am using images plugin to get the location of the setting icon and then click on, the pointer is hovering over it, but I am unable to click. I am using PointerKind.Touch rather than mouse since Error: Currently only pen and touch pointer input source types are supported. Is there a way to use the mouse ?? or how to get over this error.

Could someone help me find a better and robust solution or explain how to deal with the error.
