Fixing palm tapping "close keyboard"?

I've been using swipe gestures to navigate my phone for around two years. I prefer it to the software buttons, but no-one (including Google) have seemed to fully account for it.

The keyboard for instance has a button in the very bottom-left to close it. This means that while typing with both hands, my palm consistently hits it to close the keyboard, and I sometimes hit links instead of what I wanted to type, removing everything I've typed up to that point. It is beyond frustrating and really puts me off Android in general, as the S22 had the same issue.

Is there any way around this? 3rd party keyboards seem to have the same issue.
