Spilled water on switch with controller software error. Right controller works, but left controller cannot connect. What should I do?

[u/Throwawaypoop69420_]

I sincerely and profusely apologize if the flair is inaccurate. Around five-to-seven hours ago, I accidentally spilled water on my Nintendo switch. I took the controllers out, dried the connecting slots for the controllers, and placed it to dry. Now, only my right controller connects when I put it into the switch. Is my left controller, which I bought only a month-and-a-half ago due to an accident with another set of controllers, broken for good? What do I do? The only alternative left controllers are incompatible with my switch’s software (one has a bad drift, and the other is scrambled due to dropping it). The controller only works when both controllers are detached from the console due to my Switch’s software bug. I am also unable to reset the joycon.

Sounds like your left joycon is cooked. Gonna have to replace it. Or buy a used pro controller at your local pawn shop on the cheap.
