The FS controls, and FSUIPC ones too, are almost all only applicable to default aircraft and those which abide by the andard system. PMDG and some other addon aircraft makers implement their own aircraft subsystems which are completely separate from those inbuilt to the simulator itself.

To operate those with button or keypress you have to find the right control number then assign it via ,custom Control> in FSUIPC.

The PMDG 737NGX controls are all listed in the text file of type .h available in the SDK subfolder of your PMDG installation.  The list is near the end. You have to work out the control nmber by adding two numbers together.

P.S. Please see the thread in the FAQ subforum (which you should have looked through first). It's the one entitled 

How to program joystick buttons and keys to control PMDG aircraft
