Looking here I see you are using direct value but counts is hard coded to 1.
counts is how you adjust the rate.

counts * scale = SO percentage

You also seem to have a second scale component - halui.spindle.0.oveeride has it's own scale setting

hi there is a HALUI section in the ini and also inside the POSTgui HAL
your in i loads up a Coustom_postgui file that is inside the machine fiolder

THERE you need to connect to a halui pin NOT IN THE MAIN HAL
see here the pinnames for spindle override
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/halui.1.html

You can connect pins anywhere you like provided they are available.

postgui file was made because gui pins tend to come late into the process.

Following convention makes it easier for others to follow - but it's not required.

Thanks Chris, i got it sorted and working. I understand the flow now and the need for postgui.

I ended up using the Gmoccapy override pins.
