How to rotate cameras in cinemachine?

Hello! I am new here and have been trying hard to figure this one out but so far running into a wall.

I have 3 vcam's in a line and at a 45 degree angle upward from the player. Each vcam is set further away from the player, i blend between each camera via the main camera brain using the mouse scroll wheel to effectively zoom in and out from my player.

I want to rotate these 3 vcams around the player using the Q and E buttons. The script i have works at rotating the camera (tested with vcams disabled on the standard main camera) however the cinemachine cams dont respond to the command and are effectively locked in place.

Is there a solution to this? Or is there a better approach?
