Playing a VR game in an Android emulator (specifically NoxPlayer, but I can try BlueStacks too)

I want to play three DC Extended Universe Android games (Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman, and Justice League VR) via Nox emulator (the only Android emulator I'm able to use with no issues). I've gotten both Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman to work on there, thus the only one left to deal with is Justice League VR.

I'm able to install and get into the game. The window is split into two screens (because VR), but I can put up with that. What I need to be able to do is virtually move the device around, because that's how you control the game. For example, after the game starts and you're at the batcomputer, it says on the top left of the monitor to "Gaze To Login", then you tilt the phone/tablet until the dot in the center of the screen is within the orange login icon (I also tried this game on my real android phone. That's how I know what to do here.).

Nox normally lets you assign touchscreen/device actions to keyboard keys, but for some weird reason, it won't let me do that for this game. And nothing I do with my mouse seems to accomplish anything. I later tried the game on BlueStacks 5 to see if it would yield better results. The good side is that the screen is whole now, and not split into two duplicates, and that I was able to use keyboard mappings on the game which Nox wouldn't let me do. The bad side is that no matter what action I tried mapping, nothing would make the screen move.

I was redirected here from another Android forum because apparently you guys have better knowledge on how to make stuff like this work, So any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the only reason I was able to get Man Of Steel working in that emulator was because it supports Android 5. The game WILL NOT work in ANY Android version higher than that. Believe me, I tried. Furthermore, it requires a Google account to be logged in in order to access its obb files (which I don't understand).

Which is why I have to ask: Will there be continued full support for Android 5 and maybe other old versions of Android within today's Android emulators and hopefully future emulators as well? These three games are the only games that were EVER MADE based on the DC Snyderverse, and I'd like to be able to keep coming back to them time and time again...

That won't do it for me because WSA seems to be built around later versions of Android, and Man Of Steel will not run on an Android version higher than 5. Nox is the only Android emulator I know of that still supports older versions of Android like that.

I need to get these games working, and I'm tired of this thread being ignored. Can someone, ANYONE tell me how to do it? I've seen people playing these games on YouTube with no issues, so I know it can be done!
