Button Just opens up history

Hi there. I've setup my button however when i press it, it just opens up the history? What am I doing wrong?

  - type: buttons
    entities:
      - entity: button.deskpc_lock
        name: Lock
        icon: mdi:lock-outline
      - entity: button.deskpcs_restart
        name: Restart
        icon: mdi:restart
      - entity: button.deskpcs_shutdown
        name: Shut Down
        icon: mdi:power

  - type: buttons
    entities:
      - entity: button.deskpc_lock
        name: Lock
        icon: mdi:lock-outline
      - entity: button.deskpcs_restart
        name: Restart
        icon: mdi:restart
      - entity: button.deskpcs_shutdown
        name: Shut Down
        icon: mdi:power

that's interesting looks like this yaml magicery from the post you've linked just shows the entities rather than allowing them to be clicked same with this:

type: entities
show_header_toggle: false
state_color: true
card_mod:
  style:
    hui-buttons-row:
      $ hui-buttons-base $: |
        .ha-scrollbar {
          justify-content: center;
        }
entities:
  - type: buttons
    entities:
      - entity: button.amadeo_pc_setvolumetest
        name: Volume to 10
      - entity: button.zigbee2mqtt_bridge_restart
        name: Restart Z2M

type: entities
show_header_toggle: false
state_color: true
card_mod:
  style:
    hui-buttons-row:
      $ hui-buttons-base $: |
        .ha-scrollbar {
          justify-content: center;
        }
entities:
  - type: buttons
    entities:
      - entity: button.amadeo_pc_setvolumetest
        name: Volume to 10
      - entity: button.zigbee2mqtt_bridge_restart
        name: Restart Z2M

the button that comes from zigbee2mqtt also shows history
