Cant get light to turn on

Development
1

I have the following light:

struct MachineJamStep : app::SvgSwitch {
    app::ModuleLightWidget* light;

    MachineJamStep() {
        addFrame(APP->window->loadSvg(asset::plugin(pluginInstance, "res/MachineJamStep.svg")));
        light = new RectangleLight<WhiteLight>;
        light->box.pos = box.size.div(2).minus(light->box.size.div(2));
        addChild(light);
        fb->removeChild(shadow);
        delete shadow;
    }

    app::ModuleLightWidget* getLight() {
        return light;
    }
};

In the process call I do:

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
    if (padClickDetectors[i].process(params[STEP_PARAMS + i].getValue())){
        lights[PAD_LIGHTS + i].setBrightness(1.0f);
        INFO("Clicked %i", i);
    }
}

I create the widgets as so:

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
        float x = 51.594 + j * 12.906;
        float y = 16.14 + i * 5.291;
        addParam(createLightParamCentered<MachineJamStep>(mm2px(Vec(x, y)), module, MachineJamSequencer::STEP_PARAMS + j + i*8, MachineJamSequencer::PAD_LIGHTS + j + i*8));
    }
}

Basically i am just trying to create a 8x8 sequencer with 64 buttons that you click on and the light turns on to indicate that its on (at least for now).

The INFO i have in the process gets logged with the correct button id but the light does not change. Is it the svgs fault? in the svg i only have one group with a rect to define the shape of the light… should there be another layer on top with the fill color set to the light id color? I am very confused and been stuck on this for 4 days so I would really need a bit of help. Thanks!
