Hi!

First you do need to replace the joystick which is having drift. Then check if all is fine again, if not you also need to replace the button circuit membrane.

Here are the guides:

Left Joystick replacement: DualShock 4 Left Analog Stick Replacement

Button circuit membrane: DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT1U) Button Circuit Membrane Replacement

Good luck with the repair!
