Getting python clicks from host to register in Virtual Machine

Im working on some scripts that I need to run on top of a VM. I'm using VMWare Workstation 15 Pro. The test script I ran to see if this would work is:

def main():
    time.sleep(5)
    pydirectinput.click()

The clicks on the virtual machine don't register while the clicks on the host system do. Is there a way to get the clicks to register on the VM and how?
