Signalrgb sees coolermaster controller, but i cant control LEDs

I have a coolermaster argb controller hooked up to the usb 2.0 on my motherboard, and have 4 lian li 140mm sl infinity fans (3+1) plugged into it. Signalrgb sees the controller, but i cant do anything with it. It seems like the controllers built in patterns are overriding everything, i can change the patterns via buttons in the controller, but nothing i do lets me apply patterns from signal rgb to the fans. I cant even pulse them on any of the 4 channels. Any help is appreciated.
