How to Fix Xbox Series X Controller Bumper
First off, try a hard reset on your controller by pressing the sync button and the Xbox button at the same time until it powers off, then power it back on. If the bumper is still not working, you might need to open it up and check for any debris or misalignment—though doing this could void your warranty! Sometimes a quick blast of compressed air can also help dislodge any stuck particles.

Had the same issue last month. Opened up the controller (tutorials on YouTube helped) and found a loose piece inside the bumper mechanism. Re-seated it, closed everything up, and it’s been working like a charm since.
Honestly, just buy a new one. Fixing it is too much hassle.
If you're not comfortable opening the controller, consider reaching out to Microsoft support. They might be able to repair or replace it under warranty if it's still covered.
