Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today buddy

This depends if the plastic is bigger or very small, also it depends on where's the plastic

I can advise you, if you don't have warranty on it, open the controller and get it out.

If you have warranty and you're worried about this, you may need to open a repair request

Hope it helps, greetings from another Microsoft user!

Hi Whyumadbro3601! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

If it when in the back of the controller and is plastic it probably won't affect the controller performance, but I would disable the controller vibration to avoid it to be stuck on the mechanisms

Thanks it's only a small piece of plastic at its at the back turned the vibration off

I see, if you don't mind losing vibration on the back
I think it's not a big deal.

But, in the future the plastic could move, because is really hard to know where exactly it's inside the controller.

If I was you, I would prefer open it or request a repair depending on the warranty status (open it if warranty is expired - repair it if it's within warranty)
