I had this issue before. I fixed it by cleaning around the button with a small brush and some isopropyl alcohol. Worked like a charm!
In my experience, if the R2 button is sticky or unresponsive, it might be a spring issue inside the controller. You can find replacement springs online and swap it out with a bit of patience and a YouTube tutorial.
Just buy a new controller. The hassle isn't worth it.
Make sure your controller firmware is updated. Sometimes, a simple software update can solve hardware issues. Go to Settings > Accessories > Controllers and check for updates!
