Tried all of those before asking the question and it didn't work , i start to believe that a facoty reset might be the best option
That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially on a Z Fold where landscape mode is one of the best ways to use the device.
Since this started right after a restart, it’s likely that a system setting was triggered or a specific app's cache became corrupted during the reboot. On Samsung Folds, the "Picture-in-Picture" (PiP) glitching often happens because the phone thinks you are trying to minimize the app when you rotate it.
Here is a breakdown of how to fix this, starting with the most likely solutions:
The Z Fold has specific "Labs" settings that force apps to behave in certain ways. If these are misconfigured, rotating to landscape can cause the app to crash into PiP mode.
Sometimes there is a hand-off conflict between the inner and outer screens that triggers a pause when the orientation changes.
If this is happening primarily in one app (like YouTube), the restart might have caused a glitch in that app’s temporary files.
Samsung has a feature that pauses media when the phone is moved or flipped.
If none of the above work, there may be "junk" files left over from the system restart. This sounds technical but it doesn't delete your data:

I will try this an I'll update you , i also noticed in short form content like reels or shorts that the screen is flickering , it gives me the idea that maybe the android system itself is crashing somehow
