Samsung Galaxy A8 Touchscreen randomly unresponsive?

Hi all,
So I just fixed and replaced the screen/digitizer on my Samsung Galaxy A8 phone and I am now met with the problem that the touchscreen randomly doesn't work.
The issue works somewhat like this:
Upon pressing the power button to unlock the phone, the touchscreen will not work and is unresponsive to my touch, however - pressing the power button to lock it again, then pressing the power button once more to wake it once more leads to the touchscreen working perfectly fine, this will usually work for the duration that the phone is unlocked, however upon locking again and attempting to unlock to use the phone once more, the screen will be unresponsive once more - rinse and repeat.
It's getting very irritating and I was wondering if there was some sort of fix?
Thanks,
-Jack
