Do you have any screen protectors installed? If so, remove them to see if anything changes.

When the screen touches itself its called ghost touch. This happened when there is physical damage to the screen which calls for a replacement.

If it is new and if it's not cracked or water damaged then Samsung should be able to sort that out for u, just backup stuff u need first though

P.s did u remove the tempered glass u said u had on it and try it without that on???

Unfortunately it’s likely not a software issue. If you said the screen is touching itself (Ghosting) then that likely means it’s a hardware issue with the screen itself. You may have just gotten a bad screen. If the phone is still under warranty then I would suggest you back up what data you need and claim the warranty on the device.
