iPhone 17 touchscreen issues

Does anyone have problems with the touch screen near the edge of the screen? When I touch the side of my thumb, it does not register the touch and when I want to turn on the application at the edges, you can see that they are clicked but do not turn on. Also, when I try to press the backspace button, it doesn't delete the words, but I have to click individually, removing the letters. iPhone 17 iOS 26.3.1

I've probably tried everything, restarting the phone to factory settings, removing the protective film and the case, updating to the latest version of iOS and nothing helps.
