Controller - Game not responding to certain tilts of the left stick

Sorry for the weirdly worded title, I'm pretty new to PC gaming with controllers. I set up the inputs for my Switch Pro controller through the advanced controller configuration, and it works perfectly except, when I'm in-game, the game doesn't respond when I tilt my stick to the left or downwards. It registers diagonal tilts like up-left, down-right, or down-left, but I simply cannot go straight left or down. Weirdly, left and down work perfectly well in both the title menu and the inventory menu (aside from annoyingly going multiple selections when I only meant for it to go one, but I can just use the d-pad). The inputs also register in the test input menu.
I'm willing to try using my DualShock 4, but I would prefer not to have to do so. Since other people might run into this issue, I thought I'd report it.
Edit: Just tried using the DS4, worked perfectly. Guess I'm using it for this game now.

Unfortunately, there are issues with the Switch Pro Controller on Unity. If you add the game to Steam as a non-steam game, you might have luck turning on 360 controller emulation.
