reTerminal - boot/config.txt only follows the line added LAST

Hi all, my boot/config.txt has 2 lines added to the end of the file, each per reTerminal documentation.

One is to make the touchscreen rotation correct (dtoverlay=reTerminal,tp_rotate=1) and the other is for activation of the buttons and other onboard components on the older MCP23008 chip (dtoverlay=reTerminal,addr=0x20,mcp23008).

Each line works great… but only if I put it LAST in the config.txt. Whichever line is printed LAST in the file gets applied and the other does not.

(In other words, if the buttons line is placed last in the file, the front buttons work but the touchpad rotation is wrong. And if I place the touchpad rotation line last in the file, the front buttons stop working but the touchpad rotation is correct.)

Any ideas why or how can I make both of these apply? I need the buttons and I need the touchscreen.

Thanks! Full file below.

All, I learned a little more about the syntax and found that by combining the lines in this way, I was able to get both to activate.

dtoverlay=reTerminal,tp_rotate=1,addr=0x20,mcp23008
