Thanks, @Ocka, have been out of town.
Neither the folder nor the file exists
It's at this point that my narrative separates from the rest. I get the following on the systemctl enable:
journalctl gives:
on the strength of that, I'm rebooting to see if the enable works after it.
Nope.
Please run this & tell me if it says "Active"?
or screenshot the output & paste here.
sudo systemctl status iio-sensor-proxy
Also in the meantime, can i get you to check if your BIOS firmware is up to date.
Most Asus BIOS updates can be run from within the BIOS, normally called EZ Update, or similar.
Currently updating BIOS from v305 to v315. Will get back to you shortly.

You might try this Shell Script:
I'll video that interaction but the mouse pointer and the touchpad are 90 degree out of synch with each other. The script is throwing assorted syntax errors as well. Will be in touch

Well, it is not mine, it belongs to that github user.
If it is not working for you, let's discard that attempt.
oops. sorry. but yeah, let's move on.
next of many things that could help.
1st are you running dual boot or just Zorin OS?
I'll assume it's just Zorin OS.
Double check the screen resolution settings,(see if your on recommended, or is it giving you a lower setting)?
If not try setting to higher resolution (to suit screen).
- Next open your "Startup" app,
Does this contain "xinput-calibration"?
If not try installing xinput calibration
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xinput-calibrator
If you have the calibrator installed already,
run
xinput_calibrator
Follow the instructions.
Still no luck...
as i see your ok with scripts,
1st, Identify Touchscreen Device:
xinput list
Look for the entry corresponding to your touchscreen device. Note down its ID Number. (eg, 11)
Adjust Transformation Matrix,
Now, you'll need to adjust the transformation matrix for your touchscreen. Run the following command, replacing (ID) with the actual ID of your touchscreen device:
eg:
xinput set-prop 11 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' (matrix-values)
For example, for a 90-degree rotation clockwise, you might use:
xinput set-prop (ID) 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
You might need to try different values until you get the desired touchscreen response. (refer to links)
Make The Configuration Persistent,
Create a startup script that sets the transformation matrix. Here's an example of how to do it:
- Create a script file, for example
rotate_touchscreen.sh
and add the xinput command from above to set the transformation matrix.
2. Make the script executable by running:
chmod +x rotate_touchscreen.sh
- Open the "Startup Applications" app in Zorin OS.
- Add a new startup entry with the path to your script.
Please note that these instructions are provided as a general guideline and might need adjustments based on your specific hardware and software configuration. Always back up your data and configuration before making significant changes.
I'm out of time until tomorrow, Hope this is as clear as can be.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InputCoordinateTransformation
& a couple of other examples.
Alternatively:
You could try Zorin OS Core. I see some saying Gnome works a little better with rotation/orientation.

Can you please click on the " 
Solution" tick box under the appropriate post, to notify others of the solution. Thanks.
Not entirely fixed. There was the issue of id numbers changing between reboots, which I've addressed via
TOUCHPAD=`xinput list | grep "TouchPad" | grep -o -E -e 'id=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2`
SCREEN=`xinput list | grep "ATML1000" | grep -o -E -e 'id=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2`
Then in the scripts I've put ${TOUCHPAD} for the 11 etc.
I've removed the "solved" mark. I have put the following script into the startup items. After reboot the touch is out of sync with the mouse pointer.
straight_left.sh
#! /usr/bin/env bash
xrandr -o normal
TOUCHPAD=`xinput list | grep "TouchPad" | grep -o -E -e 'id=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2`
SCREEN=`xinput list | grep "ATML1000" | grep -o -E -e 'id=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2`
xinput set-prop ${SCREEN} 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
xinput set-prop ${TOUCHPAD} 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
xrandr -o left
xinput set-prop ${SCREEN} 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
xinput set-prop ${TOUCHPAD} 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
How do I establish whether the straight_left.sh script has been run?
Fixed at last I think. The issue was the I had used ~ in the path to the bash script in the startup items instead of the full path. Once that was done the straight_left.sh script worked.
