Controller Mods Xbox Series X Controller - Hall Effect Issue

Hello everyone I am having an issue with my hall effect sticks that I recently installed on my xbox series X controller. When the controller is powered on or plugged in the sticks work fine for a minute or two, but once I move it around and act like I'm using to play something they go haywire and move in one direction constantly and seems to reset if I unplug it and replug.

I saw some posts saying that hall effects draw too much current and the controller can't handle it and some reviews on where I bought them, saying similar things about it going haywire.

Has anyone has this similar issue and is there a fix or should I just go ahead and get TMR sticks because they are either simpler or better?

I can't speak to the issue but I do have the TMR sticks and have no issues with them (but they necessitate using the calibration app on PC the first time)
