I have installed a screen protector (Spigen tempered glass) and my screen has been having touch screen problems. For example I have to touch a little harder for the screen to register the contact

If anyone else has this problem do they know anything I can do to fix this problem
 
Assuming the touch detection worked fine prior to installing the screen protector,
I have installed a screen protector
^ that's your problem right there.

Touchscreens function based on detecting your body's very slight electrical charge. Glass is an insulator, so adding another layer makes it a little bit more difficult to pick up your touches. Some screen protectors take steps to minimize the impact, but even with those steps you'll still see some loss of sensitivity after the screen protector is installed.

You may want to reach out to Spigen to see if they have any suggestions. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll need to decide whether the poor touch sensitivity or the thought of accidentally scratching your screen is a bigger problem.
