What should I do to Fix My Left Hand Shoulder Button?

My left hand shoulder button isn’t working. I have taken my GameCube controller apart before (to replace Joystick + C-Stick), but now the L.H. shoulder button isn’t working. I think most of the parts are in working order, but whenever I press down on the button, it doesn’t push down as far as the R.H. shoulder button, and makes a slight click. I am also able to wobble it slightly while pressing it down. Pictures below:

it looks like a small bit of plastic to hold the left shoulder button in place broke and is about to come off. It can be put back on with super glue.

u have to align the left shoulder analog slider with the hole on the right side of the left shoulder button. Slide that up while reassembling the controller and then it should work fine.
