SUMMARY
Stylus buttons will not be remapped if changed in the tablet settings GUI.
Using a Microsoft Surface Slim Pen (no clip), but this seems to be a
longstanding bug. See below.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Acquire stylus with side buttons.
2. Remap any of the shown buttons to anything that isn't left click.
3. Attempt to use the stylus.
OBSERVED RESULT
The stylus only left clicks.
EXPECTED RESULT
The stylus will perform the action it is remapped to.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
Kernel Version: 6.17.8-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ktabletconfig couldn't detect either a tablet or a stylus despite the
touchscreen being built-in. The pen is connected via bluetooth.
The stylus GUI doesn't show an appropriate amount of buttons. I wonder if it
would be helpful if a user could define how many buttons their pen has and
where. It'd at least make it easier to test out the mappings.
This bug seems to exist in other distros as this individual also couldn't remap
their stylus in Mint or Ubuntu. Unsure if they were using KDE, but I've been
looking into this for a while and it seems to be a widespread issue.

This user is also having the issue that started me down this route and has a
similar pen to me (but I use a Framework 12 computer):

This bug seems similar as a whole, but occurs in kcm_wacomtablet:
