Apple Tv 4K remote left touch surface not working

Apple Tv 4K remote right touch surface not working normally. Under normal condition holding the side should fast forward videos for example but for me it just shows the menu which tells me that it registers my fingers pressures but doesn't apply it.


However, if I press it hard, two times as if I press the left side, it works. The click sound that it makes is also different than the right side of the touchscreen.


The left side makes a louder click and immediately take the video back.


It seems that the remote is broken. Please let me know if you have had difficulty skipping or fast-forwarding videos.

Apple TV (4th generation), null

correct that's one way but you can also hold the right side or left side of the touch surface, check the link below.

My issue is that the hold function only work for going backward and not for fast forwarding.
