How to Fix PS3 Controller L2 Button
First, you can try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back with a paperclip. If that doesn't work, open up the controller by unscrewing the back and check if the L2 button is stuck or if the spring is out of place. You might need to realign it or replace the button if it's damaged.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by opening the controller and cleaning the area around the L2 button with a bit of isopropyl alcohol. Dust and gunk can jam it up.
Honestly, just buy a new one. Controllers aren't that expensive nowadays, and a new one will save you the hassle. Plus, who doesn't love that new controller feel?
Tapping the L2 button a few times quickly might help if it's stuck. Sometimes it's just a quick fix!
