Tame Beast Not Working

Have not been able to tame a rare beast since act 4. Currently in the interlude desert area. I have despawned my companion beast (have a spare tame beast so I can improve.) with no change. In act 3 I was able to tame a second beast and clear the gem no problem.

Also going to add I am in game mode on a steamdeck using a controller.
I have noticed significant improvement intown fps, but it doesn't always give me all dialog options or register that they have been said already. Was in the same mode when it worked in act 3.

And yes this was a rare beast, all other enemies on screen were killed and I was standing right next to it with the beast highlighted.

AND some how I was able to get a different beast. Does trying to grab the same modifier cause an issue?
