Android element is not actually selected when log appears to indicate it was only after swipe

I must admit I am very new to Appium and really pretty green at development. I have managed to create a framework for my company’s app that Appium is easily doing many functions including tapping on the first eight buttons on our menu, except for when I must swipe down to bring a button I want to choose into focus. It seems once I have performed my swipe action the buttons cannot be tapped. The Appium log indicates that it is being tapped but then the test fails because it cannot move on to the next step on the next screen because that screen was not opened on the app. This is running on physical devices, Samsung Galaxy S4 with 5.0.1 and one with 4.2.2. In the below log the Tractor button is what I am expecting to be clicked but it is not happening. Please help.
