      In the macro editor try clicking "Pro Tools (SFX)" and change it to "Pro Tools"

        This seems to be a bug - I've logged a report to the SF team

            Thanks, @Oliver_Brian and @Chris_Shaw,

            Yes, we are tracking this issue internally. This post should be updated, and you should be notified once we have an update.

            For now, the work around is to add method:"MouseSimulation" like this:

            
sf.ui.proTools.sfx.windows.whoseTitle.is("Plug-in: HoRNetVUMeterMK4").first.mouseClickElement({
    relativePosition: {"x":577,"y":76},
    isRightClick: true,
    method:"MouseSimulation",
});

            Or via the macro Advanced Properties (accessible by click the gear icon):
