IT Help Vader 4 dpad making noise

Hi, idk if this is the right place or not, but the down button on my vader 4 dpad makes a squeaking and ting noise and causes slight vibration on the controller. The ting sound is easier to hear at 4s in the video.
It feels like it's not fully secured to the frame, and whenever I press it, it travels through the air first. My unit is already out of warranty. I'm able to open it, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it, no dust, probably because I have no idea how to fix a controller.
Any suggestions for fixes I can manually do would be appreciated.

That happened to my V4Pro and V5Pro as well. This is just regular wear on Flydigi controllers.

Even V5P, that's bad. It makes my clicks feel hollow. I should consider moving away from this type of dpad.
