It is not possible to remove the shortcut to the Flashlight on the lock screen.
But maybe it could help to disable the Raise To Wake function. Raise To Wake turns on the screen when the phone is lifted, or pulled out of the pocket, or a similar movement is made. In this way, you prevent the screen from turning on before you double-tap the screen yourself.
You can disable Rase To Wake here:
Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Disable Raise To Wake.

You're welcome.
Have you also disabled Tap To Wake?
Settings > Accessibility > Touch. Deactivate Tap To Wake.
When Raise To Wake and Tap To Wake are disabled, the screen can ONLY be turned on if you press the Power Button.
Thanks again. Just realized that instead of pulling the Lock Screen down by swiping down from top of IPhone which leaves the flashlight icon exposed I can tap the power button once then it doesn’t leave the icon exposed. Then set it down with left hand which solves the issue somewhat. Thanks again.
Hello ~ It cannot be disabled but you may what to leave feedback for Apple here by clicking on the link below…

Thanks, but I have that turned off and it’s not helping. The palm of my hand brushes the Icon on the Lock Screen and turns the flashlight on. It’s annoying.
I also sent Apple my comment on this issue earlier today. Thanks for your response.
Hello once more~ Good work and sometimes I wish it were an option myself. Take care.
