Zenfone 8 display off sensitivity

Hi.

I have recently got a Zenfone 8.
When i have the Phone in my pocket, it turns on the screen and a lor of the time, when I take my Phone out, it has entered the unlock or emergency info. The Phone is a lot more sensitive than my old Phone, while in my pocket. I have enabled pocket mode in the settings, which helped a bit... I suspect that my thigh triggers the fingerprint sensor, and swipes the screen.
Is it possible to reduce the sensitivity further, or require the power button to be pressed, before the screen is turned on.

This is getting a bit frustration...

I have facial and fingerprint on with always display off and other gestures off. Seems to make the issue go away. I will slowly bring each back to try and isolate if there is a specific one that's causing the issue.

I called one of my emergency contact 4 times in a row because of this! It got me charged for an international calls as it was a foreign number. I also sent dozens of "recent GIFs" to contacts in messaging app... It's SO annoying.
It got better with "Pocket mode" in the settings, but I also tweaked lock settings to "immediately" instead of 3 minutes. Maybe updates helped too.
