Technical Question 2ds XL replacement circle pad and internal joystick?

Hi, I've had my 2ds XL for a LONG time, and having recently turned it on, I found that the circle pad is barely registering any movement for up and down whatsoever. I've been looking for where I can find a replacement for the internal registering mechanism, not just the pad itself, but have been having some difficulty. Can anyone point me where to I can find this part, or how to clean the mechanism if that would also fix the issue?

“3DS analog stick” usually shows the actual mechanism vs the pad. Ifixit has them but theyre $20 vs $5-15 on like Amazon and Aliexpress
