L2 trigger stuck on back panel
The bottom lip of the L2 trigger button is stuck outside of the back panel of the controller. I can't figure out a way to fix it without breaking the bridge between the L1 and L2 buttons.

Is the small tab at the base of the triggers necessary? If I were to break it, would the controller function normally?

Not to necro a dead thread, but I felt this was important for anyone who runs into this problem, like myself.
The trigger itself, not counting the spring and rubber pad, is actually composed of two plastic pieces instead of one - the hinge, and then the trigger shell that you see and press on. The hinge slides into the trigger shell, and can be simply pulled out.
Easy way to fix a stuck trigger like this is to just open up the controller (4 screws, pop the sides yada yada) and then when looking at the back of the controller with the stuck trigger like OP, just pull on the hinge part with a thumb, screwdriver, pair of pliers, whatever have you until the hinge pops out and the trigger shell is free. Then, reassemble and remount on the appropriate side of the controller. Viola.
Thanks to several days and a few frustrated whacks with a hammer, I found out this nifty detail (miraculously nothing broke). Not sure why it's never mentioned anywhere, but hope it helps anyone else with this issue in the future.
