Just re-assembled the dualsense after changing sticks..

Hello everyone.
Today I replaced the sticks on my controller. The soldering was done good imo and everything was clean.

Once I closed the shell, the L2 button stopped working and L1 stayed “stuck” as if it was always being pressed.
I opened it again, reconnected the ribbon cables, and closed it once more. From that moment, it works fine for 10–15 seconds, then it starts acting like you can see in the video.

I tried opening it again and thoroughly cleaning all the contacts and ribbon cable traces with isopropyl alcohol, but nothing changed.

I also have an “Extremerate Rise4” kit installed on this controller, and it has never caused any issues for more than a year.

What could this be? I can take a picture of the stick soldering if needed, but I don’t understand how it could affect the back buttons!

Thanks to anyone who can help me
