@JOcean thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate your efforts but my problem is unfixable. The issue is the drivers, I checked on the official dell website for the drivers of my laptop and saw the fingerprint scanner driver do show the ubuntu(latest version) option in drop-down but the text says that they have not been updated. So this is an issue with driver update with lastest version of ubuntu. I hope goodix updates them as soon as possible, though I check that last update that came were in 2020.
