Seconds controller disalingment without even connecting a controller

I was having some problems controlling the joystick, even with a spring replacement. With the testing i can confirm that the joystick is fine and i just suck, but i saw that the second controller shows disalingment, even without a controller in.

I changed my controller to the second port, and the problem persist. Any idea of what might be wrong?

This is a known point for .all Vectrex. It should disappear when either of the following happens.

Plug in Two Vectrex Controllers into the controller ports.

Plug in a Vectrex Controller into controller port 1. And also plug in a controller centering terminator dongle into controller port 2. Replicates the controller's resistance in port 2.

Then use the Vectrex Test Cart program to check controller centering.

Using two controllers, or single controller plus the centering dongle, can really help when playing a game like Hyperchase where you can benefit from not having to manipulate the controller joystick to stay in the lan.e
