What is the issue

[alita]

I opened up my switch since the micro sd card reader isn't reading the micro sd card then I decided to try it without the backplate,and it works, only to not work when the back plate is on(also if you're wondering yes I did remove and put the micro sd card reader and nothing,and I put a piece of folded paper and tape to keep it pressed,but nothing)

To me it sounds like a mechanical problem where the back plate applies some pressure in a location that the reader doesn't like.

What do you think i should do

We need some more info I think. Was any previous work done to the console? Like has it been physically modded before?
Can you take some pictures of the SD card reader, the pins of its connector and the pins on the Switch mainboard?

Yes, it's a switch with a picofly chip. I'll send you the photo of the sd card reader sometime today

Does this help

No that absolutely doesn't help. You will need to completely open up the console

Certainly some pin of the socket on the motherboard has failed you. If with a tester in diode mode you find the pin not connected, you can bypass it. There are the pinout diagrams of the microSD reader on the internet.

Is it easy to fix?

Also I forgot to add that it only reads it when pressed in

Pressed I the same direction as the arrow and also I know you have to push it until I clicks,but you have to keep it held down in the point of the click
