Power/lock button hard to press

I have a 5C which has a stiff power button, as in the button seems slightly too recessed and is harder to press than it should be. 

it needs a new battery ideally anyway so I’ll be opening it up, my question is what needs to be replaced to have the power button clickly and easy to press like it should be? 

thanks in advance for your help

The button still works but doesn’t have as much travel it seems as another 5C I have. Button doesn’t “click” or anything

May as well order both parts just in case

@sambetsy The power button is just a piece of metal, the switch is part of the cable. I'd only recommend to make sure the switches are already mounted, the only troublesome part is the vibrator switch that needs glue and fine taking aparts.
