Trying to use createGraphics() in p5.js along with eye tracker and it isn't working

Question

I'm still a beginner coder and I'm making a project where the eye positions (networked by socket) of two clients when landing on the same positions on the canvas would play the music note it lands on. I'm still in the beginning stages of this project and currently, I'm trying to draw the client's eye position on the canvas while the grid of music notes on a p5 renderer object.I had coded the grid to add an ellipse to where the mouse has clicked. The grid is successfully drawn but I no longer can interact with the grid ie add or remove ellipses on click. So now I'm a bit lost on how to solve this issue. Before when the eye was being drawn on p5.renderer I also tried the clear() function to get rid of the trails but it didn't work. So I have two problems 1) trying to get rid of eye position trails and 2) using create graphics with mouse pressed function not working in code below.

// NETWORKED + EYE VARIABLES

let socket = io();
let ctracker;
let clients = {};
let data = {};
let w =  1200;
let h =  600;

let leftEyeX, leftEyeY, rightEyeX, rightEyeY;
let cnvPosX;
let cnvPosY;

/// SOUND VARIABLES //

let part; // attach all the instruments to the to make it into a machine i.e on/off

Answer 1

Nevermind, the error was just that background kept drawing in draw()
