Issue with hid-playstation not starting

Having a small issue with my ps5 controller which was working fine before, but suddenly wont work on startup now. After some searching I think I’ve found what the issue is, the hid-playstation driver isnt running on login. I can use:

sudo modprobe hid-playstation

To get it to run, and it all works fine after that, but don’t want to keep having to run that on every startup. The common fix I see for this is to use:

echo "hid-playstation" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/playstation.conf

Which does just not work at all.

Is there something i’m missing here?

Thanks

So, figured out the issue. For some unknown reason, in my modprobe.d folder I had another playstation.conf with the code:

blacklist hid-playstation

which was causing the issue. Once deleted it works fine again
