A tip that has helped me is stop using your thumbs. I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but hear me out.
Put the controller between your thighs/knees and squeeze a bit. Now that the controller is stable in front of you, use your index and thumb on the analog sticks like you were actually holding a set of lockpicks.
You’ll have FAR more control and be able to hold the sticks (picks) in place properly while rotating. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it you’ll notice it’s far easier than using your thumbs.
