Didn’t the Taiwanese already release that the pilots had an engine malfunction and then shut down the good engine?

Yes. They had a failure of engine 2, and about 40 seconds later, they shut down engine 1.

It’s pretty unlikely that either pilot managed to hang on to the sidestick in the crash.

It doesn’t look like they had much control of the plane.
