Introduction

I decided to create this guide because i got *triggerred* trying to reassemble the PS4 Dualshock 4 Controller

What you need

Step 1 Preparing the triggers

Remove these two triggers and springs from the backplate.
Find which trigger goes on which side and put the springs in the trigger part facing towards the inside of the controller.

Step 2 Attaching the triggers.

On these two clips...
Push down the trigger until it clicks on both sides.
Make sure that the one spring part is inside the rail (marked cyan) and the other outside the whole assembly (green).

Step 3 Connecting the light bar

Connect the light bar cable using your fingers. Make sure it is fully pushed down and that is plugged in the right way.

Step 4 Closing the cover

close the cover starting from the side of the triggers. Don't worry if it's a bit hard to do so, but be careful so you don't break the plastic between the trigger and the bumper.
Push down until it clicks everywhere.
Finally, screw in these four screws using a PH0 screwdriver.
