Unable to Calibrate Nano Drone

Hi, I recently bought an RC Leading 101c Nano Drone and after flying it for around 40 minutes, it drifts to the right. I discovered that this drone can be calibrated by holding the left analog stick to the bottom left corner and holding the right analog stick to the bottom right corner. The unit flashes and it's supposed to be calibrated but it doesn't work.

I then used the tilt feature to try to tilt it to the left. Initially it works but after about 5-10 seconds, it begins drifting to the right again. I've tried to calibrate the drone using these methods several times but the same thing keeps happening and it tilts so much to the right that it's hard to make it go left after a while.

Is the drone damaged or defective? I did crash it several times but aside from the tilting problem, it seems to work fine. I've straightened up the propellers and they seem fine too.

I'm wondering if the motors on the right are spinning faster than the motors on the left. This unit is supposed to be a knockoff of the cheerson cx 10 but calibration is done a bit differently with my drone.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After playing around with it for about 15 minutes (I had to charge it a couple of times in between), I was able to use the tilt feature to calibrate it enough so that if flies straight up but, once again, after a few seconds I can see it tilting to the right and it's uncontrollable. Pressing the right analog stick all the way to the left barely prevents it from continuing to drift to the right.

Is there any way to fix this? Could this be a propeller issue? They all seem to be aligned properly. I don't think I can fix this by calibrating it since the drifting/tilting starts 2-5 seconds after it's been in the air.
 
If it starts out OK, then it's probably not a prop issue. When you say "tilt feature" do you mean the trim switch below the right stick that you adjust to stop the quad from drifting left and right? If so, make sure it's centered. You'll know you're at center when the controller gives you a beep. Also, when you try and calibrate it by moving the sticks to the bottom and you get the rapidly flashing lights, do they go back from flashing to solid? One last question, (silly one) while you're trying all this, do you have your android close by with the app turned on?
 
Thanks for replying. Yes, I meant the trim button (*it's located at the center of my remote control for the drone I have). Sorry, I'm new to this and I don't know the terminology very well. After watching a youtube video on calibrating the Cheerson cx 10, I learned that it'll beep when it's calibrated, as you said but that's not the case with my drone... at least not all the time.

Yes, when I calibrate it by moving the sticks to the bottom, it flashed rapidly for a couple of seconds and then the lights go to solid. But this doesn't seem to calibrate the drone.

This drone doesn't have an android app.

I crashed it pretty hard numerous times due to my poor flying skills. Do you think something broke internally and that's what's causing the drone to drift? I can actually see the drone tilt down to the right while in the air. At this point it becomes very hard to control.

This is the drone I have -

*At the start of the clip, the remote control is shown. The tilt button is the long button in the center, right below the power light indicator.
