Why are you setting up your controllers in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg?

Here’s how I do it and how I believe it should be done (you can do this either through SSH from another machine or locally using a keyboard):
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
Select number 3 (Setup)
Select number 315 (Register RetroArch controller)
Follow the instructions

Your controller config will now be saved in its own file in /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/ and it will be used only for this specific controller so you can have different mappings for different controllers.

Sadly the hotkey, exit, load state and save state buttons seems to have to be in the main retroarch.cfg which kind of limits the possibility to mix controller types.
