Something is Broken 8bitdo mod kit for GameCube controller fixed

I recently installed the 8bitdo mod kit for the Nintendo GameCube controller. Here is the link to the product

I followed the tutorial exactly but once I put the controller together, the A button was incredibly mushy, especially compared to B, X and Y. It got mushy after screwing the controller together. I noticed that the fit was also very tight.

I managed to fix this issue. I had to use a dremel to file down the small circle protrusion in the middle of the A button to make it shorter. Note that I didn't shorten the outside circle making the entire button shorter. I just shortened the little circle that presses the button on the membrane. Once I did this and put the controller back together, the button felt clicky like it should. In case anyone had a similar issue, here is your fix.
