Can no longer set forward direction on Rift S

I guess this came in the most recent update - I can no longer set my forward direction.  I see that option is gone from the guardian setup, and that now you press the 'Oculus' button on the right controller which brings up a menu to recenter the view.  This sort of works, but only for this instance.  If I stop, then hit play again (using Unity), the recenter choice is gone.

Please bring the forward direction option back to the guardian setup/re-setup.  Furthermore I cannot even remove the single device to do a fresh setup.  I'm going now to just uninstall everything and try again.

    Update:  this reddit post helped:  https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/cut5w4/oculus_rift_s_doesnt_let_me_change_the_forward/exz3040/?context=8&depth=9

    Trick was to press & hold the Oculus button on the right controller DURING the guardian setup.  A simple note in the app text informing us to do this would suffice.
