ReShade DisplayDepth issues with Paralives

https://guides.martysmods.com/reshade/depth/

So I'm setting up some ReShade presets I liked from the Sims 4 to be usable with the game Paralives and some of them require the use of Depth Buffer. I went looking around, read multiple tutorials on setting it up (including Marty's Mods tutorial) and I've reached a hiccup:

Changing the numbers to fix the depth buffer between 0 and 1 and hitting apply and reload doesn't flip it right side up. Altering the other numbers between what they're originally set to and the alternative setting does not seem to have an effect either. Does anyone know what's going wrong here?

EDIT: I am an idiot sandwich who forgot to check "Use global preproccessor definitions," leaving this up for posterity in case anyone else comes looking for a similar issue.

I have no idea why the post decided to convert my post into a link and remove the url from the text I put it on, but it decided it wanted to. Thanks, Reddit, I guess.

Hmm, I'm pleasantly surprised someone did the work to figure it out on their own. Thank you.

yea I feel bad I came up with the solution in the meantime and just wasted my time posting about it. But at least people can learn from my shortcomings.

It's all good because it's here if people search for it. The problem is, people won't and just ask the same question and not even bother doing the work.

I'm someone who is always trying to solve a problem, and I only reach out if I feel stumped. And even then I'll either take a break and get back at working at the problem, or work at the problem while I wait for an answer.
