Ok the bars should go to the right (from the left side). So that the bars 'fill up'.
For that axis number, to the left of that bar graph you should be able to click the assignment for the throttle, then it wants you to select an axis to the right (where the graph is). Choose the axis for the throttle on the right, and you should now have your throttle assigned. But since the bar is going backwards, you need to hit that Invert 0 button next to where it says Throttle. It should change to Invert 1, and then your Throttle should be correctly assigned.
Do the same for the Brake assignment, and you should be good to go.
