I smashing the trackpad with a Windows laptop, and now the trackpad is a bit loose and wiggles around, but it works better than before. Thank you so much for the advice! I take really good care of it, but perhaps some dust or crumbs got in the way of it actuating properly. I tried this after running a card into the edges of the trackpad, but this worked perfectly.
Only the home button that came with the phone has Touch ID function. In order to replace it and still have Touch ID, you would need to get it replaced at an Apple Store.
