Welcome to the forum,
Since EFX only influences certain channels of your choice, I'm suspecting your Fixture Definition to be faulty.
The mode in which your fixture is working in and the correct setting in QLC+ (mode) have to correspond.

If this is the correct manual (these Chinese Fixtures are sold under a lot of different Brand names)

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/14402 ... tml#manual

Then you will notice on page 7 that the Pan, Pan Fine, Tilt and Tilt Fine channels are on 10 - 13 (those are the channels that EFX uses).
On channels 1 - 3 they have Color Wheel, Strobe, Dimmer and GOBO (those are the channels where a lot of fixtures have Pan, Pan Fine, Tilt and Tilt Fine).

I agree with Fredje: wrong Fixture Definition.

You could try using the fixture definition of the Clay Paky Sharpy (this fixture seems to be a straight copy of that).
