click sensitivity adjustment grayed out

I go to System Settiings -> Trackpad to adjust my trackpad click sensitivity, but the 2 sliders for either Tracking Speed or Click are grayed out. I'm unable to use those adjustments, and my click sensitivity is _way_ to touchy. This bums me out as this is a brand new M3 Macbook Air. Force Click is turned off, as well as Data Detectors. Blue Tooth is off too. What da heck is it grayed out for? Accessability settings "seem" normal. Thanks for any thoughts.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.3

Are you sure it is greyed out? Can you post a screenshot? Mine look like this (in light mode; I mostly use dark mode). They appear almost like they are greyed out, but aren't. Clicking and dragging the controls is a bit tricky, but does work.

Thanks for the response. I'm seeing now that the click "firmness" isn't a variable slider. It's a left, middle, or right side, 3 discreet levels, sort of thing. Bad UI design imo.
