Screws work too
You could also use any kind of machine screws to attach and secure the joystick.
- Insert all the buttons and secure the plastic rings.

Raspberry Pi
- If needed, solder the headers on the Raspberry Pi Zero.
- Attach the USB power cable, regular USB cable, and HDMI cable to screen.
- Use small nails, sewing thread, or even hot glue to secure the Pi on the cardboard.
