Simple and easy to follow one of the few guides online that tackles the pesky ZL and ZR buttons

Be very careful when re-attaching the plastic trigger onto the springs. I've wrecked two of these ribbon cables by trying to first align the springs then sliding the trigger into the clip, which resulted in me sheering the SMD button off the ribbon cable entirely.

The same thing happened to me. Waiting for a replacement now.
