NEW TMR stick stuck to the left. Help!

I just installed new TMR sticks into my BDM-030, along with a shell swap & new battery. But now when testing the controller, the left stick is always 100% to the left. When i make a circle with the joystick it does go up and down but will not go right at all. I've taken the shell off and blew it out with canned air but that did not help. I'm pretty sure I did a good job with soldering, nothing was accidentally bridged and all the connections are good. I was careful not to scrape the board and it never got bent, and I cleaned with a little 90% iso and swabs.

I did find out about dualshockcalibration dot org, and I downloaded both Chrome and Edge to try it out but the tool wont work on either of them. I get a message saying "dualshockcalibration.org redirected you too many times."

I'm at a loss! Don't know what I should try next.

UPDATE: fixed it with more canned air and pressing in on the horizontal sensor of the stick. There must have been something inside making the magnet and sensor be too far apart or they just needed to be squeezed closer together slightly.

Vacuum bottle stopper cleaning tip

I've got a SJ-JS10 stainless vacuum bottle that I used for coffee (with cream) for the past few months. I love it except the lid is difficult to clean thoroughly. You just can't reach everything with a sponge or even a pipe cleaner.
Then recently I got a small ultrasonic cleaner for my fiancee to clean her jewelry & I though I'd give it a try. It worked like a charm. Remove the rubber gasket & stopper, submerge it in tap water with a drop of dish soap. Mine completes a cycle in 5 minutes.
They are pretty inexpensive if you stick to the smaller ones!
