Dead button leftthumbstick

I purchased my quest 2 recenlty for christmas and after just 2 days of casual use, the left thumbstick begun drifting in random directions. I researched around online for solutions and found that this is very common and often caused by dust partticles. So i blew air from my mouth into the thumbstick edges and the stick-drift is gone now, But now  the left thumbstick button remains non-responsive. So I am unable to run in certain games or access specific features that require the left thumbstick button. I Have tried factory resetting and re pairing but nothing fixes this problem, I need help with this please.

Hello community manager, thank you for taking the time to answer my post! I have  tried all of these recommended trouble shooting steps and the issue remains. I would like to clarify that the issue is not stick shift but instead a non responsive dead left stick click button. I recently purchased Wratch of Asgard 2 for my quest 2 and sadly i am unable to use items during combat because of this dead left stick click button problem. I have tried factory reset and that did not work either. Is there anything else I can do? and thank you again for taking the time to answer me.
