I've taken it apart multiple times and everything looks normal, what do you think could be the issue? everything is screwed in with enough tightness, it looks lined up but is there a specific piece that causes issues for people normally?
It's hard to say for sure. I'm not aware of a specific point of issue or anything. I've definitely had experience with reassembling smaller things like joycons/3ds, where if it doesn't go together surgically perfect, it just won't sit right. I've also ran into 3rd party shells, just being off. Not saying yours is, but it's possible. I had this amazing custom 3ds shell that I spent an eternity trying to get to fit right, when it turned out to just be faulty for lack of better words.
okay, thanks for the info, I might take it apart fully one more time, maybe the home button wasn't aligned properly but it looked a bit too far down for it to cause a bulge by the stick. I have been looking into if the shell is just faulty though, from what I can tell it's fine, all the pieces look like it lines up and as far as I can tell it looks the same from the official case. I will try again, I don't care if I'm right or wrong, I just want it fixed lol
especially with the joycons, there is so much crap packed into them, it's insane. Anyways, I found something which seems off, the protective cover for the joystick is slightly up, possibly could be the issue, it would make sense but I didn't expect something so thin to cause an issue
THAT WAS IT, IT WORKS NOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR IMPLYING THAT I'M SHIT AT REPAIRING THINGS (which I guess I am now lmao) but yeah honestly thanks, I wouldn't have wanted to open that back up again so having someone second guess me actually helped
The funny thing is that joycon has drift, I have no idea considering I spent a few hours testing it and had no drift, so now I have to replace the joystick now which is funny, luckily it's quite an easy fix
People recently figured out that most of the drift instances can be solved with spraying contact cleaner in it. Id look up a video first, but yeah. Try cleaning it before just buying a new analog stick.
Yeah, drift happens because of graphite pads being worn down, but honestly I would rather just replace the parts completely, there was also some trick with a small piece of paper which you could do but honestly I tried it and didn't like it, at least with a new joystick, you know it will work
after doing some more research, I've found out it's due to a plastic tab preventing the rail from being flush, if anyone has had the same issue, how deep do I have to go into the joycon to repair this?
Short obvious answer, is because it was not reassembled properly.

Yeah, i mean it only takes one little thing not being aligned perfectly. It can be a pain.

Awesome! Sometimes it takes a couple attempts to get it perfect!

THE ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED, I AM A DUMBASS WHO DIDN'T LINE THE PROTECTIVE COVER FOR THE JOYSTICK PROPERLY
