Help with setting collapse status bar & navigation gesture macros

Hello everyone, I've been using MacroDroid for a few days on my new OnePlus 12R and I'd like your help for some stuff I'm trying to set.
1) I need the Collapse Status Bar action on some of my macros, but unfortunately it doesn't work even if I gave MacroDroid every possible permission (accessibility, ADB hacks, helper installed). For your information, Expand Status Bar action works instead. Is there something I'm missing? Is this OxygenOS' fault?
2) Ok, I know this one is harder. I need an action that changes gesture navigation to button navigation, and vice versa. I understand I have to try out with secure/global settings, but none of my attempts worked so far. I'm not rooted.
Thank you in advance :)

You need to set up Shizuku, but will the status bar work with this macro?

Oops sorry I didn't realize that.
It is inevitable that there will be duplication of answers if there are similar questions.

I was actually just wondering, by way of a hint, if your version does the same thing as Jacob L's version?

Hints? Seems like a post that has little to do with this thread.
At bottom of Jacob L post is this:
cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
//That enables Gestures

cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.threebutton
// Enables Three buttons (back, home and recents

I was hinting that you should look at it, to see that it is different than your Navigation.macro version. His version uses "cmd overlay enable" for both enabling gestures & enabling buttons. Whereas your version uses "cmd overlay enable" & "cmd overlay disable". I'm just wondering why this is so. I can't see within the actions as haven't got shizuku.

@md_sgf
I verified by connecting the device to a PC via USB and got the same effect with both commands.
I have tried with Android 12 and Android 14 with similar results.
