Gyro controls don't work if the controller is connected mid-game

I've been playing with a Switch Pro controller, and naturally I'm using the gyro controls for first person aiming. It's a great feature, however if the controller is turned off and back on again the game just stops recognising any gyro input from it. This can be a problem sometimes because the controller will turn itself off automatically if left idle for long enough, which will then require that I quit the game and boot it back up.
This same issue also goes for if I turn the controller on when the game is already running, right now I have to make sure the controller is already on when I boot up in order for it to work
