Hi
The best thing you can do right now is check it’s not in warranty as if you open it up and it’s in warranty the warranty will be voided
Once you have checked the warranty I would follow one of these guides depending on what trigger you want to fix
Steam Deck Left Trigger Replacement
Steam Deck Right Trigger Replacement
Once you have it open I suggest you clean the buttons and the contacts with some isopropyl alcohol to help clean away and dust and debris
When reassembling make sure that the button is assembled properly as if it’s misaligned it can cause the button to feel sticky and unresponsive
If the above doesn’t work please let me know and we can look into it further
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

Thank you very much, I have cleaned it with alcohol and polished the back cover somewhat, but it did not improve anything and I am sure it is caused by the presence of friction between the back cover and the trigger.
Yes, I've removed it, and when it's removed or partially installed, it doesn't have this problem. But once installed, this problem will occur again.
Make sure everything inside is seated correctly and that all the screws are in fully
If that doesn’t work I would maybe ask valve about it as it could be a design flaw or defective device
Thanks:-)
I have tried it. It should be the tolerance of the enclosure.
