You are welcome, glad it worked now

btw, I'd remove these extra code lines by commenting them:

--[[
SecurePostHook(GAMEPAD_CHAT_SYSTEM, "Minimize", function()  
         local self = GAMEPAD_CHAT_SYSTEM
         if self.newChatFadeAnim and self.newChatFadeAnim:IsPlaying() then self.newChatFadeAnim:Stop() end
         self.chatBubble:SetAlpha(0)
      end)
]]

That way you still got them in and can spy them but they are not used (they are simply not needed and every non needed but run code slows down the game, and might create problems, so better strip it).
