iphone 7 home button not working after screen replacement, help

I had the same home button issue as many of you guys, with 5 iPhone 7's in a row while using expensive $50 oem screens.
After a lot of research I've come across of a suggestion which sounded interesting to me. Low and behold, this solution has actually worked!! I have simply loosened the screw in the back of the home button which holds it to the metal bracket, restarted the phone, and the home button has started working perfectly.

I loosened the screw behind the center of the home button (holding it to the metal bracket), and it magically works now. This may not fix a lot of them, but it worked for me. I was just tightening that screw snug, but must have been too snug.
Which makes perfect sense, since a slight warping of the touch sensor could cause it to malfunction, creating all the dreaded touch issues. Now, there could be other causes too, such as cheap/low quality replacement screen (don't be a cheapskate! lol), broken ribbon, or corrupted software which can all be solved fairly easily, but the home button screw loosening should be tried first. :)
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
