Thank you so much! I had a ps4 controller that had a broken r2 button and i had gotten a replacement (which is now having battery issues) Today I took the old controller apart… the spring had come out of the rail. That was it!

This guide is wrong. The top part spring should be inside the trigger, if you look at the other trigger it’s not exposed.

Thanks for pointing it out. I do not have this controller anymore as it was from a repair job so unfortunately, I cannot correct it. If you or someone else happens to have one and is able to take high-quality pictures I’d be more than grateful to accept your correction.
