I would stat off by taking it out so you can properly clean the trackpads case edge and the trackpad as well.

Update (02/07/2022)

@beanman56 - Make sure the click switch is not damaged, you should be able to press on it to get it to click. I use a small coin placed on top so the pressure is even.

If that works then after you’ve put it back in you should only need to adjust the setscrew

The resting tangs should be on a small piece of felt (dark area inter it) give it a 1/4 turn clockwise at a time to raise it up so it engages sooner. Do be careful as its a bear to get rethreaded if you go to far.
