Swipe on Oculus GO Touchpad triggers UI clicks when it shouldn't

Using: Unity 2018.4.1 LTS & Oculus GO

I am using a gaze pointer to interact with Unity UI.

This is supposed to happen when you pull the trigger, exactly how I defined it in my script: a swipe left or right on the touchpad of the go-controller however triggers clicks as well. I did not define this myself, it's just a thing that happens and I can not figure out how to work around it.

I found and fiddled around with solutions proposed in this thread and this thread.

However, none of these solutions provided me a way to get rid of these swipe clicks while keeping alive index trigger clicks.

My Input Manager (Index Trigger Interaction with UI seems to happen in OVRInputModule):

 private void Update()
        {

            if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.PrimaryTouchpad) || OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.Two))
            {
                ToggleVidInterface();

            }

            if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.PrimaryIndexTrigger))
            {
                StartCoroutine(TouchpadCounter()); 
            }

        }

        IEnumerator TouchpadCounter()
        {
            int secondsForCounting = 2;
            float startTime = Time.time;
            int touchCount = 0;

            while (Time.time - startTime <= secondsForCounting && OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Button.PrimaryIndexTrigger))
            {
                if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.PrimaryTouchpad))
                {
                    touchCount++;
                    Debug.Log("touchCount for Admin Menue: " + touchCount);
                }

                if (touchCount >= 3)
                {
                    ActivateAdminMenue();
                }

                yield return null;
            }

            yield return null;
        }

Part of the OVRInputModule (I don't know if its the right part):

        /// <summary>
        /// Get state of button corresponding to gaze pointer
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns></returns>
        virtual protected PointerEventData.FramePressState GetGazeButtonState()
        {
            var pressed = Input.GetKeyDown(gazeClickKey) || OVRInput.GetDown(joyPadClickButton);
            var released = Input.GetKeyUp(gazeClickKey) || OVRInput.GetUp(joyPadClickButton);



#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
            // On Gear VR the mouse button events correspond to touch pad events. We only use these as gaze pointer clicks
            // on Gear VR because on PC the mouse clicks are used for actual mouse pointer interactions.
            pressed |= Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0);
            released |= Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0);
#endif



            if (pressed && released)
                return PointerEventData.FramePressState.PressedAndReleased;
            if (pressed)
                return PointerEventData.FramePressState.Pressed;
            if (released)
                return PointerEventData.FramePressState.Released;
            return PointerEventData.FramePressState.NotChanged;
        }

Messing with the Android if condition just enables or disables clicking as a whole (trigger and touchpad). What am I missing here? How can I seperate between a trigger click and a touchpad swipe?!
