Broken vibration motor - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Device:
Redmi Note 3 Pro, Snapdragon, 2GB RAM, 16GB Internal.
Currently on ViperOS Coral with stock kernel. (latest version of magisk is installed)
Hey community (and hopefully devs)!
As the title suggests, (I think) I broke my vibration motor. Basically, I flashed two custom kernels on top of each other. I really don't have any more info about that, like which ROM or kernels I used. I know, there were warnings everywhere, I've seen them.
Anyway, all I'm asking is if there's any flashable zip or maybe edit of the build.prop to fix this issue.
I've tried RR, LineageOS, NOS, ViperOS, CosmicOS, AOSPA, AOSP Nougat and AOSP Oreo with Radon, Agni, ElementalX and Infected for kernels. All of them were at the latest version at that time. The firmwares used were (and still are) miuifirmware_kenzo_7.7.6 and miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_7.7.20_Firmware. Alongside those ROMs and kernels, I've used Kernel Aduitor. Having tried all of those, vibration had not worked fully. Sometimes, rarely, there was a gentle vibration when I pressed a button or letter, that's all. Though that gives me hope it can be fixed.
I really do need that vibration to work, it's how I used my alarms to wake up. Just sound doesn't cut it. School year's about to start and this being my final year, I want to go all in. But, I can do nothing if I'm asleep.
Please, for the love of me, provide sings useful feedback. I do need to fix it, and service centers aren't an option.
Thank you all.
PS0: I know it'll sound crazy, but if any dev reads this and wants to fix this issue, as I'm not the only one who faces it, please, at least send a message out leave a reply here. Any logs or other feedback, I'll be more than happy to try and provide!
PS1: I have not yet searched on MIUI forums. I do dislike all MIUI themed stuff.

I was on Viper 3.0 as well. Flashed ElementalX, then dirty flashed ROM, Flashed agni, dirty flashed ROM again and got this very problem.
Did you manage to fix it?

I did not flashlight the stock MIUI ROM, thus I do not know if that'd be a possible fix for this issue.
(I cannot stand anything premade, that I did not get to mess around. That's the reason why I didn't flash it.)

So I don't know how my vibration came back this morning but I lost it after a few hours.
This happened all of a sudden a few weeks after I lost the vibration under similar circumstances as stated in the OP.
This is quite surprising since it worked without any problems - it wasn't weak or inconsistent for the few hours I had it running today.
Could anyone please explain.

Hey there! I had the same problem. Problem arose when I was on CosmicOS on stock kernel. I don't have any service centres nearby so on the suggestion of my friend, I switched to NOS and the vibration motor started working after 2 days. Wierd, and I don't know whether CosmicOS was the problem but NOS has fixed it.
