There exists a bug when `Enable new post reactions menu` is enabled, the left `discourse-reactions-actions-x-left` and `discourse-reactions-reaction-button` share the same component.
In mobile view, when long pressing the left `discourse-reactions-actions-x-left`, it triggers an unintended ReactionsPicker, which the console showing an error of `Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getBoundingClientRect')` and a unresponsive picker panel.
This commit attach the event to element `.discourse-reactions-reaction-button` to prevent such things.
