how can I get rid of the spot (lower R of the screen) that opens the notification centre?

Recently upgraded to ios 17 on Apple's advice. Now have a spot permanently on the right of the screen below the app icons. Tapping it brings up the notification centre. I don't want it, did not (knowingly) set it there.

How can I get rid of it, or at least, hide it?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Assistive Touch has been switched on. Turn it off by going to Settings -Accessibility -Touch and turn it off.
