It's a bad trace I lost all d pad directions except down.
When I did a continuity test I discovered the common path that's in series on each direction stopped after down. When I looked closely with the microscope I could see the next direction left had material rubbed away right near the pad I will try to upload a photo. As for fixing I have a pen for fixing traces I'm going to try to draw a new path there and then probably mask the edge with a little tape so that it can't rub there anymore.

I expected this to be something related to a trace, when repairing things you got to look at probability and statistics. Was not going to lose three my direction pads instantly so it was most likely not a worn down pad. Or any grime or build up that kind of stuff does not happen instantly. my controllers never had water or other things dumped on them.
