fully functional vs in a functional state

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Fully functional' is commonly used to describe something that is working perfectly and without any issues. On the other hand, 'in a functional state' is more general and can be used to indicate that something is operational or working, but not necessarily at its best.
