Hi khajotia,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with the right-click feature for your MacBook Trackpad. We're happy to provide some information to assist.

With the option turned on, do any of the other trackpad feature listed here work as expected? Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac

Also, does the issue continue if the click speed or accessibility feature is changed? Change Mouse & Trackpad preferences for accessibility on Mac

We'd also recommend testing the feature in safe mode. How to use safe mode on your Mac

If the issue continues, let us know what suggestions you've already attempted. We'll continue to assist.

Best.
