So, everything on my quadcopter works. The motors spin on clean flight, the receiver acknowledges Yaw, Roll, Pitch, Throttle, and Aux2. Except for some reason, only the AUX2 renders. Not Aux1. I don't know how to change that. Also, when moving the throttle up and down, the motors don't budge. I'm completely lost on how to make motors move with this transmitter(Turnigy9x V2). And for some reason when I try to attach my other transmitter to to Turnigy9x receiver, I don't see any response(It was bound). Do the transmitter and receiver have to be the same model? I know on my HK-T6A V2 if I held down the left joystick and push it to the right for 4 seconds. It will activate the motors. Is there a trick like that with the Turnigy9x? Totally lost here. I can't seem to find anything on google/youtube. Thank you again community!
You probably need to adjust the throttle endpoints on the T9X. If you look at the receiver tab in cleanflight (with your transmitter bound and on), your lower throttle endpoint should be set to 1000. If it's not, go into your transmitter settings (on the transmitter) and adjust the endpoints so that low is 1000 (or as close as possible) and high is 2000. Same for the other stick channels (especially yaw). While you are at it, you should adjust your subtrims so that center of all channels is 1500.
(You need to do this so that the throttle will reliably go below min_command at zero throttle for arming to take place.)

Is that where the stickMin should be changed, and stick max? OR, are you talking about the RC deadband?... here's a pic of what I have. Another problem I'm having is that I can only change the Aux2. I can't seem to change the AUX1 or transmit to it. AUX1 also twitches between 1480 and 1481 and sometimes twitches to 1479. Not sure what that means.

From your photo, you throttle looks too high if that is min. You should follow sloscotty suggestions.
For Aux1, did you assign it to a switch in the auxiliary ch5?
I'm not really sure how to assign Aux1 in the transmitter. I'm not really sure what the difference is between Hov Throt, or Hov Pitch in the others. I guess ideally I'd like Aux1 to be between 1250 and 1600. and then Aux 2 to be 1601 to max. What's the difference between stick arm and switch arm? I'll try what sloscotty said.

OH man, right infront of my face. I had no idea that's how channel mapping worked. So I added Ch5 to receive from hov pitch. So all I had to do was turn the nob on top of the turnigy. Wow. But, I'm still not receiving a response from the motors.

Most of us like to switch arm. That means, you have to flap an assigned switch to arm. There are plenty of YouTube videos. So, I will just briefly describe it here.
You need to assign a switch to one of the aux channel in your TX. For example, you assign the Gear switch to Aux 1. Now go to Cleanflight and the Mode tab. You should see an Arm mode. Select Aux 1in the pull down tab. Then flap the Gear switch, and you should see the ticker move. Set your range for arming. Don't make the range too small. Save and reboot. Plug in a lipo, flap the Gear switch, push throttle, and you motors should start spinning. Remember to remove props.

I don't have the T9X, but my on my Spektrum 100% is default. Increasing the percent will move the endpoint. (With throttle stick low, increasing to 147% gets me down to 1000 - with throttle high, increasing to 150% gets me to 2000.) . With the Spektrum, I can do this while connected and watching in Clean/Betaflight without main battery attached. If you do with main battery, just be sure props are off for safety.

I did what you said, but I'm still not receiving any type of condition of satisfaction. The motors still won't move. I'm checking the pins on the board right now. But should I? If i can make the motors move in CF from the motor section, and I can see the transmitter and receiver communicating. Could there still be an issue with my pins?

The top of cleanflight has the parachute highlighted red. Saying it's in safety mode. Any reason why might that be? Is that what's not allowing the motors to run. Because for a brief moment messing around with the TX, I did see all 4 motors spin.

If motors spin in tab and receiver indicating changes with stick movements, then likely a setting issue.
Did you calibrate your accelerometer? What is your small_angle value?
