2008 cat 272C having controll issues

The only other option I can think of to get at Codes is if you can haul the machine into the dealer and have them do it as it sits on the trailer. I don't know if that's an option for you.
If an electrical schematic for the machine would be any help then please ask. I can send you one.

Pulled the stick

So there’s a rubber coated peic it looks beat up guessing that’s the part u said u can’t get on its own?

That's the one - #2 in the illustration below. Is that the LH or RH one.? The Part Numbers are different.
For your machine 269-0258 is the LH base, 269-0257 is RH. The number may well be on that white tag in your photo.
I was wrong on the price. $465 whichever of the two Part Numbers it is.

Personally I wouldn't be replacing that part unless I had diagnostic information that clearly indicated it was bad but the decision is yours not mine.

Reason I pulled it out to look was it was actually getting worse then noticed if I jiggle the stick around or hold in certain positions it would come in out of that alarm. The pic above is after I cleaned that sensor it was covered in pebbles and dirt all black. Put it back in and now it’s worse after cleaning

That's the Part Number for the complete RH joystick assembly including the handle.
The base shown in your photo above is P/N 269-0257.

The base for the LH joystick assembly is a different P/N - 269-0258.
