I don't think basstop is to blame for this. I bought the clear purple one and replaced my switch and joycons and had the ZL circuit button break in the same way as well. I ordered a broken joy con off ebay to replace it and it broke the exact same way. So I ended up buying a 3rd party made one which worked fine but I think nintendo is to blame here not Basstop.

Probably the best video tutorial for joy-con replacement repairs is the Jerryrigeverything video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3TeP1G5lO0
If you want to replace the triggers yourself, you're lucky the left one broke. The ZL and L button are connected via a ribbon cable, where on the right joy-con, the R button is part of the board.
Replacement ZL button is here: https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Button-Ribbon-Nintendo-Controller/dp/B078RQNTG6/ref=pd_cp_147_2?pd_rd_w=QQxkQ&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=JHAQFWG09SK0KNSYMXAK&pd_rd_r=dc8f3529-9f55-11e9-88ad-d7548475fca0&pd_rd_wg=SmpUv&pd_rd_i=B078RQNTG6&psc=1&refRID=JHAQFWG09SK0KNSYMXAK
Replacement L button is here (minus button is part of the same ribbon cable): https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Button-Ribbon-Nintendo-Controller/dp/B078RQFNMN/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1RC1W7Z2NFK0I&keywords=l+button+joycon+replacement&qid=1562352696&s=electronics&sprefix=l+button+%2Celectronics%2C142&sr=1-2
If you need tools for it, here's the best tri-wing and phillips head screwdrivers (The black and solid orange ones came with shell replacements I had gotten and they're my go-to for opening joy-cons): https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Button-Ribbon-Nintendo-Controller/dp/B078RQFNMN/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1RC1W7Z2NFK0I&keywords=l+button+joycon+replacement&qid=1562352696&s=electronics&sprefix=l+button+%2Celectronics%2C142&sr=1-2
I couldn't find anywhere to get just a left joy-con shell replacement, unless you wanted a clear shell.
