I had installed the snap of sc-controller hoping it would have fixed my issue with my DS3 controller not being detected in Ys 6 (I wanted to bind the controller buttons to keyboard keys, but the controller still was not being detected). I then uninstalled the snap. Now, when I plug the controller in while Steam is running, it creates an infinite loop when trying to load the modules and wrongly identifies it as an XBox controller instead of the Sony Playstation 3 controller.
My theory is that after running sc-controller for the first time after installation that some files that gnome-shell uses got modified and now is conflicting with other programs (Steam).
This is the log when I plug the controller in without Steam running.

And this keeps looping in the logs until I unplug the controller. And then if I try to exit out of Steam, it fails to exit, get's hung and I have to kill -9 the process. Also note that it's being added as Microsoft X-Box 360 pad even though it's a DS3 controller.
Before installing sc-controller I was not having any issues, but now I can't use any controller (I tried with my Steam Controller, too). So, what other files were modified to still keep this behavior even after uninstalling it?
