Mixture goes to idle once i move the throttle

so I had the classic reset all my settings bug, i did. thankfully it saves my control profiles. I load into the 172 for some fun GA flying and once I move the throttles, my mixture goes back to idle even though I have it set to full rich, and once I move the throttle back to idle the mixture goes back to full rich??? Im using the X52 saitek with only the throttle and I have every other button deleted except for throttle, mixture, and power, I checked all my other controls my Honeycomb, keyboard, and rudder pedals to see what all had the mixture set to, none of them have any axis set for mixture or throttle except for my X52. what did I do wrong?
