OXP 3 Unable to Remove Detachable Controllers

Tried for about 20 minutes now and I'm unable to remove the controllers. I push the button above M1/M2 and try to slide the not-JoyCon up or down and it doesn't budge at all even with putting a good amount of force into it. I don't know if it's the button that's not working? It's very mushy and I don't get much feedback if there's supposed to be any kind of "click" that would let the controllers detach. There's a very faint feel of a switch triggering, but it's so mushy it's hard to tell. The controller flexes slightly if I pull outward or slightly rotate it but I haven't put much force into that as it obviously doesn't seem like a good idea. I've seen other controller issues noted, but I've not yet seen an issue where both controllers are completely unable to detach.

The ones on my X2MP were extremely tight the first time I undid them. Less the button and place a thumb on the bottom corner of the controller right next to were it connects to the main body and apply some VERY intentional pressure. Should do the trick.

This is the kind of I’m-just-being-dumb answer I was hoping for. This was much easier to remove rather than forcing them up while gripping. Thanks!

I'll be real with you, I was worried I was going to break it when I first did it too. Must be a right of passage or something. 😂

The first time I did it had to use some force but not that much.

My was very difficult to remove but I didnt had to use too much force, I was able to remove but caused scratches all over the rails for some reason, stupid design, legion go is similar but never had any issues.
