FlashQ Q20ii flash with Lumix cameras

I recently got a GX85 and I already had a FlashQ Q20ii flash. The Q20ii works on my Sony A6000 and my Ricoh GR but for the life of me I can’t get it to work on the GX85. I don’t want a big flash for the Lumix and I don’t want to spend any more; the Q20ii is perfect for a fill and can be remotely controlled.

i see that others online use the Q20ii with other Lumix cameras like the GX7. Am I missing something here? Do I have a big dope-slap coming? 
Has anyone used the Q20ii with a GX85?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 Sony a6000

Dang! It worked. Thanks. What was throwing me was that it worked on my A6000 without any button pushing. And of course I lost (misplaced) the instructions and there are none on line.

Thanks again. I will now apply a dope slap to my forehead. D’oh!
