What is this icon of a controller with an upward arrow trying to indicate? - Metal post with direction indicator on avenue with high skyscrapers in New York

I'm playing "Detroit: Become Human" on PC via Steam. I've hooked up a Playstation controller since the keyboard+mouse controls are so strangely nonstandard.

The game shows me prompts of what buttons/combos to select to do different actions, but there's one I just can't figure out what it's trying to tell me to do:

I don't understand what the icon on the left is trying to tell me to do. I'm holding down the L2 key which is the icon on the right (hence why it's colored blue), but I haven't been able to figure out what I'm supposed to do in addition.

For further context, I'm currently playing as 'Kara' and am cleaning Todd's house. This sequence of actions is when I'm attempting to "ventilate" the rooms; if I manage to figure out how to activate it, Kara will open the window.

Here's the full view of the current scene:

Actions I've attempted in order to satisfy the prompt:

  • physically moving the controller upwards
  • swiping upwards on the touchpad
  • moving both joysticks upwards
  • pressing 'up' on the D-Pad

What action should I be doing when I see this icon that looks like a controller with an upwards arrow?
