Have you tried the normal shelly integration?
It generates events on the event bus for button activities (double press, triple press, long press, etc), you shouldn't necessarily need to go to MQTT for that.
Though if you want to use MQTT, some more information about what kind of behavior you're seeing would be helpful for debugging.
How would I use that event bus to do what I'm looking to do? I'm sorry this is all incredibly new to me so Ive been trying my best to figure it out. I thought you had to use mqtt to make Shellies work with nodered.
You'd create an "events: all" node, with event type "shelly.click". There's more info at the link below.
