@max_out …. stick drift is caused by a damaged plastics part in the housing itself. the only way to repair typically is to replace the housing. you can find a guide and parts here:

Right Joy-Con Joystick Replacement

alternatively, you could disassemble, try and clean the contacts underneath the analog sticks with a soft cloth or brush and some 99% isoporpyl alchohol, then reset and resync the controllers to see if that does it.
