Apple Pencil 2 dot problem

I recently just got my ipad hours ago and i noticed my apple pencil 2 always starts with a dot and a normal line. Is there anyway to fix the pressure and sensitivity? Is this a defect?

There are no configurable settings for “sensitivity” or pressure. There are only limited settings exposed in iPad settings:


Settings > Apple Pencil




Any other settings will be App-specific - exposed only within the App that you are using, such as the native Notes App.
