Fingerprint scanner visible when in sunlight

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ROG Phone 5
Firmware Version: .86
Rooted or not: Not
Frequency of Occurrence: Whenever I am in sunlight
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
When I am using my phone in daylight I can very clearly see the fingerprint scanner on the screen.
It doesn't impact the functionality of any application that may be open, but it detracts from the experience, especially when playing games.
Is there a known fix or setting for this that I don't know about?

Seems to be normal behaviour? I've never had a phone with an in-built finger scanner so I wasn't sure.

You can see in his images what I mean. The square is visible on the display. It's not something that I believe would appear in a screenshot.
