Why does L2 only register if I press down hard?

My L2 button wasn't working after I, stupidly, sprayed some silicone lubricant in it to stop it from squeaking. I disassembled the controler and cleaned the entire L2 assembly with alcohol, the button, ribbon and surface underneath. L2 works again but only if I depress it all the way and squeeze hard. I'm fairly sure it's clean now, but not sure what else could cause this? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Zander!

Most of the time caused by the L2/R2 that's not aligned correctly. Or a issue with the spring.

Please check if everything is seated correctly.

Good luck!
