(c#) Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I have some code from the "CN controls" kit on the asset store and I have an error that pops up whenever I click on the screen.

Error is NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object CnControls.Dpad.OnPointerDown (UnityEngine.EventSystems.PointerEventData eventData) (at Assets/CNControls/Scripts/Controllers/Dpad.cs:31) CnControls.DpadInputHelper.Update () (at Assets/CNControls/Scripts/Controllers/InputHelpers/DpadInputHelper.cs:49)

code "DPad"

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
 
 namespace CnControls
 {
     public class Dpad : MonoBehaviour
 #if !UNITY_EDITOR
         , IPointerDownHandler, IPointerUpHandler
 #endif
     {
         public DpadAxis[] DpadAxis;
 
         /// <summary>
         /// Current event camera reference. Needed for the sake of Unity Remote input
         /// </summary>
         public Camera CurrentEventCamera { get; set; }
 
         private void Awake()
         {
 #if UNITY_EDITOR
             gameObject.AddComponent<DpadInputHelper>();
 #endif
         }
 
         public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
         {
             CurrentEventCamera = eventData.pressEventCamera ?? CurrentEventCamera;
 
             foreach (var dpadAxis in DpadAxis)
             {
                 if (RectTransformUtility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint(dpadAxis.RectTransform, eventData.position,
                     CurrentEventCamera))
                 {
                     dpadAxis.Press(eventData.position, CurrentEventCamera, eventData.pointerId);
                 }
             }
         }
 
         public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData)
         {
             foreach (var dpadAxis in DpadAxis)

             // Mouse input here

Thanks a ton for your time!
