3 finger left/right swipe are not working on Finder for some reason.
The swipe should have moved to next tab in Finder. Pressing ⌃ + ⇥ from keyboard does work. But not via BTT.
BTT v5.450
macOS 15.4.1
For me the same is working, the only diff is the macOS version: 15.5 (24F74)
Can you check what is shown in the "Recently used" after executing it?
Also here's mine:

i only see this different in mine.

But have you tried to use mine? Also just additional info, I've created the trigger under the Finder app on the left side:
yes. it's set for Finder specifically. The HUD shows up, but Finder doesn't respond to it for some reason.
do you have multiple tabs open in Finder? ctrl+tab is for switching tabs, right?
Yes. I do have multiple tabs open. Ctrl + tabs is indeed for switching. Applies system wide on macOS.
does it work if you press it on your keyboard? I just tried here but even when triggered from BTT it works fine in my Finder
Yes, with keyboard, it works.
Something is probably blocking the keyboard shortcut, either something in BTT or somewhere else. (Your exact trigger is working fine here in Finder, so the trigger itself is correct)
You could try to use the trigger menubar menu item action instead of a keyboard shortcut:
"Window;Show Next Tab"
