Why won't my notification bar work?

[Android Central Question]

I have a galaxy s8 and my notification bar refuses to slide down, I have factory reset it and tried the safe mode method but it still doesn't work. I can go into landscape mode and swipe the notification bar which made me think maybe the top area of the phone is messed up. However I can still press the top of the phone without any problem and when I lock my screen I can pull down the notification bar. Only whenever I am at home screen or in an app that is in portrait mode I can't access my notification bar.
