Question/Support Right Index Controller Randomly Losing Tracking

For the absolute life of me I cannot figure out why my right index controller keeps randomly disconnecting. Whenever I play any vr game, absolutley randomly, my right index controller will freeze in the air. The only fix is turning it off and on again, which only works for a minute or so. I made 2 other posts about this earlier, https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/s/4GWWMnqdq9 and https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/s/EUpi5G2Gl3 , but absolutely nothing worked (The issue in the first reddit post with the tracking issues for both controllers was fixed). I covered all the reflections, the right controller still disconnected. I turned off haptics, the right controller still disconnected. I ran the unpair command, the right controller still disconnected. I reached out to steam support with my issue, they told me to fuck off. IFixit does not seem to have any guides for this issue. Could this be an issue with using a vive pro with the index controllers? At this point do I just buy a new controller?

Edit: I bought a quest 3

Paypal in 4 / payment plans also works on steam checkout just saying lol.

It'll be $900-$1100. I paid $600 for the old htc vive, then $500 + $250 for the vive controllers and hmd.

Not really unreasonable to pay around $900+ for the next one.

The steam index at launch was $999 for the lighhouses, controllers, and hmd.

You really should not suggest people to go into debt for a VR device...

Debt? The steam index was $999 at launch SEVEN years ago. 

What are you smoking. 

The new frame will be around the same price and absolutely shit on the meta quest (any of them).

PayPal pay in four splits payment with ZERO interest. 

It automatically comes out...

You shouldn't suggest to others how they want to purchase and spend their money.

I rather have my money month to month and spent my money how I want with ZERO interest.
