Remote for Roku Box requires weird, changing angles in order to work

I have no idea what's causing this or why it happened, all I know is that my roommate logged into Disney+ yesterday and now it's doing this. Essentially, in order for the Roku box to read the remote inputs, you have to hold it at a very specific angle. This angle changes every few seconds for some reason. The Roku interface keeps telling me to pair my remote again, but when I try it says it can't find it. I've tried restarting, hasn't worked. Does anyone know why this is happening, or what can be done to fix it? Thank you!
