Dualsense Problem with the L3 button after it has been replaced

I've already installed new joysticks on three DualSense controllers, and I've also installed them on a DualShock 4. However, a problem I'm having with the DualSense is that when I move the stick down and press L3, it registers, but the feedback isn't good; it doesn't feel like a smooth click, as if I'm not pressing it properly. This doesn't happen if I move the stick up, left, or right and press it; it clicks properly and feels even better than the original. I don't understand why this is happening. Another thing is that this hasn't happened to me in any other DualShock 4 installation, nor has it happened with any DualSense R3 controller. Lifted or broken traces? No. Bad soldering? In my opinion and experience, I suppose not, but I don't rule out the possibility. Since this has happened with every DualSense controller I've replaced, that's why I'm resorting to this method.
