Does that wheel assembly even contain the switch? Every mouse I’ve repaired has had a small SMD tact switch on the PCB for the middle button.
To find a replacement switch, I go to Digikey or Mouser, filter by the approximate size, then look through the pictures until I find something that looks right. Then I download the datasheet and check the exact dimensions to see if it will fit. Tact switches are cheap, so order a bunch. I usually have to replace them every few years. If they are available with different actuation forces, get several different ones to try out.

Those suspended magnetic mouse wheels could be different in that way. How could I tell for sure? Without disassembling the mouse and almost certainly breaking it in the process because I’m extremely incompetent with my hands, I mean.
