Stick Issue with Switch Pro Controller

I use Switch Pro Controller with Steam Input enabled. I have no problems with any other games, or even using emulators on Skate 3.

But with this game, after pushing, then trying to hold the stick down for popping, the character doesn't react and it basically eats the input. I turned the on-screen display on, it shows that it's registering the input, but it doesn't initiate the readying pop animation, and I basically can't act out of pushing normally. I have to wiggle the stick back and forth at the bottom for it to register then he moves down to the readying animation, or I have to re-center the stick back to neutral then move it back down again. It still mostly functions normally for nollie though. 

I think switch controllers don't go all the way to 1, if I remember correctly. So when I'm pushing down maybe it's at like 0.85 - 0.9 and that for whatever reason doesn't interrupt the pushing animation

Very annoying, basically makes the game unplayable on a Switch Pro Controller, before you ask, yes I've tried BetterJoy, it makes the problem worse.
