Cannot perform jestures on apple watch ultra

So as said in a prier topic; got myself an apple watch ultra 3. I'm, however, running into quite a problem, that beeing multi finger gestures aren't working when wearing the watch. I.e, 2 finger double taps? Don't work. 2 finger tripple taps, 3 finger double and tripple taps? Nothing. Thing is; if my watch is off my rist and locked? Said gestures work no problem. Having come from a series 8... Anything i'm missing? I think it has something to do with the ultra having an edge for the notification much like iphone where you swipe down after you hear the pop but, I don't know. What am I missing?
Edit: figured it out; it’s my watch case. It’s a bit... too thick and jestures just... don't go through at least multi finger gestures do not. *sigh* i'll have to look for a new protector I guess, oh well.
