R1 button lost clickiness

My steam deck is only months old with less than 50 hours of use, I was surprised to pull it out of it's carrying case today to feel that my R1 button has lost it's clickiness and provided little to no feedback. here is a video of the issue:

is there a way to maybe reseat the button to the correct position? Or do I need to swap the whole bumper assembly? What are my options here?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The r button switch is attached to the R joystick, So it may be a stick replacement needed, if not, its the physical button you press that's broken, Ifixit has replacement guides for both, hope this helps
