How to stop the PS controller from powering off when I press the face buttons

controllers

My controller turns off when I press "o" or "x", then it goes to a screen that says "press the PS button to use the controller", then it comes back on after a couple of seconds.

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

This probably means that this is not your 1st player controller or it's not set up as the 1st player controller. I might be able to tell you more if you tell me when this is happening.
