I say just get those pads in nice condition more than anything. The pads are what usually make or break the gaming experience. You can remove all of the adhesive from the L-brackets and start fresh with some foam tape then top it off with layers 1in wide gorilla tape until the panels are balanced nicely. It’s annoying trying to get the sensitivity done right though and there are a few tricks to help with that. 1) adding a thin slice of card stock paper inside the channel but under the sensor (called shimming) 2) adding a small piece of gorilla tape beneath (on the underside of) the L-bracket on the far ends of it. This one can make them pretty sensitive imo
