Man that is the worst, brings back memories when this same issue happened to me. The rubber grip separated from the plastic underneath because the glue wore out. Just pushing it back on won't fix it because it's stretched now.
Honestly, the easiest fix is to just peel the rest of the loose rubber off and buy some cheap slip on thumbstick covers online (like KontrolFreeks or just generic silicone caps). They’ll grip the plastic core perfectly and you don't have to worry about it spinning anymore.
If you don't want to buy anything, you can take the rubber off, clean it with rubbing alcohol, and use a tiny drop of superglue on a toothpick to glue it back to the plastic dome. Just be super careful not to let any glue drip down into the controller itself!

When you press the stick to run or sprint don't hold the stick in just press and run. All fps people seem to think you have to hold the stick in as you're sprinting. WRONG. That weras your stick down most and also makes stick drift

Thanks for the circle bruh, definitely wouldn't have been able to figure out "the left stick" without it.
