as the error is saying the targeted deck is not set to remix deck. If you are mapping an midi controller you need to tell the button from what deck to what slot on what (deck) remix deck it should capture it to.

Edit: just reread 😃 looks like you are trying to capture from a deck that allready is a remix deck or live input and that can’t be done.

How did you mapp the button?

The f1 is probably trying to capture from deck b. hold down the capture button and use the encoder knob to switch to deck a.
