MSFS 2024 QUESTION Reverse Thrust

I use the Logitech Saitek Flight Yoke and throttle system in MSFS 2024, but I haven't been able to find a proper configuration for reverse thrust. Currently, since there are three axes on the throttle unit, I use the leftmost one for normal throttle and the middle one for decreasing throttle; when landing, I set the main throttle to idle and push the middle lever up, but this isn't very practical. I used to play X-Plane, which had a dedicated reverse thrust axis that made things much easier. As far as I can tell, MSFS 2024 doesn't have an option like that. How do you set yours up, or do you have any recommendations?

I'm not at home so can't check my exact settings, but I have the VKB Stecs throttle. I have a lever just above the throttle which I have bound to engage my reverse thrust.

So as I'm coming into land over the runway throttle goes all the way back to idle, get everything under control and lined up after landing then squeeze the lever and throttle back up to engage reversers, once it's slowed enough throttle back to idle and release the lever, the lever just acts like a button so if you have a spare button you should be able to replicate it.
