My right joy-con is not being recognized as connected into the switch.

Hi, I have a problem my switch does not recognize the joy con as connected when i slide it in the switch. The joy con still works but only wirelessly. It does get charged but nothing else. I tried other joy-cons with no luck.

If I'm understanding you correctly, The joy con is connecting physically, but the switch isn't recognizing that it's connected?

Hi, I had this problem with my left Joy-Con. I was playing FIFA 20 and the switch didn’t register the joy con physically connected. When I slid it in, It wanted me to press ZL on the joy con. I did that and nothing happened. I then restarted my Switch, slid in the joy con and the switch seemed to register it.

I put a couple layers of painter tape on the switch side corner where the joycon slides down. These layers of tape pushed the controller outward helping the contact ribbons connect. try this!

The metal connection rail on the Switch can go faulty as well as the associated rail on the joycon. I think detection is made via NFC. If a known-good joycon does not detect then replacing the rail on the Switch can solve the problem.
