Mounting the analogue stick?

[iVirtualPlays]

I managed to get it working and it works wonderfully but now i’m left with having to mount the analogue stick. The problem i have with this
is when i put the face plate back on. The thumb stick becomes restricted, it becomes stiff, down is fine, left and right side is fine but the thumbstick won’t move up properly. Is there a way to get this to fit properly. I did widen the hole for the thumbstick but doesn’t seem to make a difference. Such a shame, would have been a great mod if it worked. Guess it’s best to go back to the original slider stick.
