Tap to click not working

Good morning, I am using openbox and I can’t make the tap to click on the touchpad work. In the menu Mouse and Touchpad there is the option to click it, but when I close it doesn’t save the change. Has someone any ideas?
Thank you

Please see: :wink:

I searched and found that both libinput and synaptics are installed. This is the conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "tap-by-default"
   MatchIsTouchpad "on"
   MatchDriver "libinput"
   Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection

Yesterday I tried many thngs, including creating another conf following the arch wiki, but I did something so wrong that I had to reinstall. So before braking it again I decided to ask.
I took a screenshot of the window where I try to enable tap to click.

I hope it is clearer.

Beside the Xconfig used you should also provide info on your hardware to help others help you better… (See the link i gave)

Sorry, here it is.
