I mapped the left throttle front (red) button to toggle the reverse thrust - works good for me.

Mh, can you be a little bit more precise? What did you do before?

You have to set your Hotas axes to the throttles of engine 1 and 2, for example. And then you search for simething like "toggle reverser". Sorry, as i have the german version i cannot tell you the exact term in the english menu. Assign a button of your Hotas Warthog Throttle to this command. So, if u press this button, your throttle axes will be "reverted". On landing, you flare, touch down, moving your throttles to idle, press the button, and by pushing the throttle forward! again, you have reverse thrust now.

That is exactly how I had to do it on my X-55 throttle,

I didn't realize once you pressed the designated button you then had to push the throttle forward again to actually get reverse

Yes, there are two possible reverse functions in FS, i guess. One is just to apply full reverse by button press ... not very realistic in my opinion. The other option is to use the toggle button, but then you have to add thrust again 🙂 Ok, in reality, most of the modern engines give you so much idle thrust, that just the opening of the reversers is sufficient. But sometimes you have to spool up the engines again. Perhaps, some real world Boeing or Airbus pilots can tell you more.

Here is what i do:

1- Go into controls and find my throttle

2 - I delete everything that I don't want to have a button for (flaps, apu start, gear, etc)

3- I go down to the throttle axis.  By default it is joystick L - Z axis for full thrust.  

4 - I click on the reverse axis check mark under that, and try to pick either a button or an axis but none of them seem to equate into the sim

 

I'm sure I am missing a step so any help would be appreciated 

Ah, that's the point I guess. By clicking the reverse check, you just flip the axes orientation. So PUSHING forward will be throttle DECREASE, pulling back will be full thrust. 
Assign the axes in that manner, that forward will add thrust, moving back will decrease thrust. Leave it there. Then search for the term „reverse“, you will find some entries .... even for prop reverse. Search for the toggle function, assign a button of your choice, and viola, by pressing this button you have reverse function on the normal throttle axes. Pressing again, and the axes will work with positiv thrust.
