According to the official Oculus website, this fix should work for your Oculus Quest 2 Controller. However, even after a long time you do not see the LED blink on your controllers, there is a possibility that the batteries are dead and you need to replace them.

Community and Forum advice 

A number of people are reporting issues with their Oculus Quest 2 controller and more often than not, the right controllers are the ones that do not seem to be working properly for the users. The official forum has many people complaining about the issue and sharing advice with others about what worked for them.

Make sure that the batteries you are using are the right size to fit the controllers. If you are having trouble with it, you can put a piece of tinfoil where the positive side of the battery is supposed to go. The tinfoil will help with the conductivity.

Another issue that the users are reporting is about the leaking batteries. These are more likely the batteries provided with the controllers when you make the purchase. You can clean the residue of the battery port inside your controller by using a clean cotton bud dipped in vinegar. This dissolves the alkaline residue and you are ready to put in new batteries again.

If none of the fixes work for you, then it is most likely a hardware issue. Try getting your Oculus Quest 2 replaced. You can always contact the official customer service for more information regarding replacements.
