Chosen Solution

I was doing my first ever repair and started with a JoyCon of mine that has severe drift but don’t use anymore before I fixed a JoyCon with drift that I do use. While in the process of swapping the joysticks, I think I pinched my cable because my joystick didn’t work when I was testing it. Here’s pictures for reference

Here’s how the drifting joystick for reference, in case it’s helpful.

The curve in the cable is due to a piece of foam that I think Nintendo added when I sent it to them years ago to help with the connectivity issues it had with the Switch when docked and sat around 6-10 feet away. So… do you think my replacement is broken?

Yeah it looks like its broken is it left or right
