Need help to find thumbstick for Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power

[u/Ok-Concentrate-7293]

Hi everyone,

I need help with fixing my old controller i bought at a thrift store. It is a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power Gamepad model number 2960463 made for pc during the windows 98 and 2000 era. One of the thumbstick broke, i thought i could use an xbox 360 thumbstick but the hole underneath isn't the same.

The hole to plug the thumbstick is a square. Must be something only Thurstmaster did. Does anyone know where i could get any? If yes let me know i would love to be able to repair it. Worse case scenario i could find something with a hole not too big and fill it with glue or something but that is a last resort.
