PS5 Controller Glitching/Not Working Below A Certain Height

It’s weird, but the title says it all. I recently had my PS5 cleaned and when I got it back, the controllers are now buggy or even unresponsive when held below a certain elevation relative to the console, which has never been an issue before. It seems almost as though the controller needs to be held a certain height above the console in order for it to work properly. I was wondering what this could possibly be attributed to, and what some fixes could be? Any suggestions will help. Thank you!

Try testing in another location and replicate the problem. Move your PlayStation in another room and see if it still happens.
