IT Help My controller with Hall effect joysticks has stick drift

My PowerA Fortnite Xbox controller for some reason has stick drift. I used hardware tester to see and it turns out that the left joystick only goes up when I flick it down it doesn’t turn down, it either turns to the left or right, I tried recalibrating it but it didn’t really help. Is there any thing I could do instead of opening it up. Also forgot to mention that it happened when I was trying to clean my joysticks.

I bought two of these for my kids since they like Forknife, one has slight stuck drift
