There is a Semblance that was already approved that allows the user to up their strength, speed, etc, all of which are controlled by different parts of the brain, different muscles groups, and work fundamentally differently, but a Semblance that manipulates the enemy's senses can't be approved because each sense in the victim's body is controlled differently? That doesn't make sense to me.

The user is manipulating their mind psychically. The mind is what operates the senses and interprets electrical impulses sent to the brain. By interfering or changing these electrical impulses it would be possible to change what the individual senses. Even minor disturbances can do some amazing things, like Cap Gras Syndrome, which makes a person believe every person in their life has been replaced by an identical copy, or the other one, can't remember the name, where a person is blind but their brain tells them they aren't, so they will swear to whatever gods they believe in that they can see, and go so far as drawing what they THINK they are seeing. Another makes you seem as though you're normal, but something is wrong with your brain and you are unable to perceive the right side of anything, but you aren't aware you have this problem until someone points it out to you. A woman was shown a picture of a cat and asked to draw it. She drew one side of the cat only, and then said it looked normal to her. When the guy points out that she only drew one side of the cat, she seems alarmed and doesn't realize she did it, and tries to make excuses.
