Slight inconvenience and a possible fix for anyone who may be in a similar situation. (RP6 sticks)
I noticed that my RP6 left stick was more stiff and rigid, compared to the right one. It was kinda harder to move. Then I took a closer look at it and found out that there is some kind of rubber gasket/cover on the thumbsticks and the right one was moving freely with the stick, but the right one was stuck in place, not moving and obstructing the stick itself to move. See the video here:

So I decided to take it apart to see what the issue was, maybe the left gasket was glued to the frame, or something like that.
I do not advise, or take responsibility, for anyone to take their console apart.
But I did it. I disassembled it and found out that the left one had two of those rubber gaskets instead of one, so it was too thick to fit inside the shell, so it was stuck there and thats why it didnt move with the stick.
If anyone is in similar situation and risks taking the console apart this may be a fix for them too. At least that was my case.
