Right Controller Index trigger issue Quest 3

Hi everyone, I need some help.

Three weeks ago, my right trigger stopped selecting apps and items in the Meta OS menu. It still works in apps and games, but not in the main menu. I have to use the “A” button on my right controller or the trigger on my left controller to select anything in the menu.

Since it works in apps and games, I’m thinking it might be a software issue.

I’ve tried unpairing and re-pairing the controllers, and I also reset my Quest 3, but nothing helped.

Check under the Accessibility>Mobility>'Re-map controller', that you haven't accidentally remapped those buttons.

I checked it right now. It is all by default - nothing changed. I pressed default just in case - still have this issue.

Strange. I have two solved threads where users had similar controller issues. In case you haven't seen them, here they are. Maybe the troubleshooting procedures there might help:

Edit: the other possible problem might be a loose magnet, which is used to detect when your finger "touches" the trigger:

You could probably test the magnet simply by "touching" the trigger and watching how your fingers react on your virtual hands and avatar.
