That sounds like a coincidental hardware problem. You could contact Apple Support:

Or book a Genius Bar appointment at a local Apple Store.

Do it while it's under warranty / AppleCare.

Yes i have seen it online while i was searching how to solve the problem and I have also contacted apple support, they tried to help but nothing could. I have reset the SMC and NVRAM, and also reinstalled Monterey through recovery mode, and waited for the new update of Monterey. The glitch happened even while the Mac was updating but what i have noticed is that it does not happen while the laptop is in windows. I have made a separation to my disk and i have both windows and mac installed for over a year now on my computer and while in windows the glitch doesn’t seem to appear so I don’t think its hardware but I’m still getting my laptop fixed this week because the glitch really bothers me while I’m working.

Update on the TouchBar. I have had it repaired and they had run a service check also. The problem was not software but the connector between the TouchBar and logics board, due to moist or dirt it has been damaged.
