How to achieve improved Depth of Field? Cannot get reshade to work

I can get my reshade to function in literally every field except DOF. Changing the saturation? Sure. A film over lay or border bars? Easy.

Here’s the thing - When I choose DOF, doesn’t matter if it’s Marty’s, or Ring DOF, or any of them - they do not work.

If I set it to “Manual DOF”, it just blurs the screen. No amount of adjusting can set the plane forward or backward. It just blurs the entire screen. When it is set to “Auto”, there is no blurring at all.

Is this a bad version (Newest one), do I need to downgrade? Unfortunately we cannot use Menyoo which has it built it.
