So I found a trick , people. I use my palm of my hand for my fingerprint reader, instead of a finger.

The best place ive found is the nub/palm oposite your nuckle at the base of the index finger. Open your hand, bend all fingers back and it will stick out enough to be pressed to the reader.

Now just waiting for "facial expression unlock" . My phone should only unlock if I smile at it or make a kiss face etc.
