iPhone 7 home button is too sensitive after screen replacement.

Hi, I recently replaced a screen on an iPhone 7 and every went smoothly. I have been doing screen replacements for years now and always take my time. Anyway, this was my first time doing an iPhone 7 and when I plugged the screen in to test it everything worked fine except for the home button. All it took to register a home button press was just resting my finger on the button. If I were to actually go about pressing it like normal it would register about 10 clicks and would vibrate a lot more. I'm not really sure where to go from here.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

restoring iOS through DFU has solved a few issues with 3rd party screens on the iPhone 7 in my experience.
