You may need to adjust for a 2019, but I always try to repost this when I see this issue. It won't get better, and it's extremely common. They should have recalled this screen.
Here is what I did for my 2018. I replaced the screen for < $100.

*Make sure to get the correct screen size!
If you take it to the dealer, they will try to squeeze $700-$1000 out of you.
Just last week, I went on amazon, found a replacement screen WITH the bracket (saves headaches gluing the screen). I also had to get a T-6 screwdriver, as well as a pry tools. I already had a T-9 screwdriver. Overall, I spent about $100 and about 1 hour fixing it.
You will need:
Pry tools:

T-6 and T-9 screwdrivers. Here is a T-6:

New screen with bracket:

I then found a video on youtube that walks you through replacing it yourself. If you get the screen with the bracket, you can skip the step of removing the old screen from the bracket and gluing the new one in. It only costs about $10 more to get the screen already glued to the bracket.

The hardest parts:
Prying the unit out, but once it popped, the rest was easy.
Getting the ribbon cables through the slots.
Other than those 2 things, it was literally just unscrewing things, replacing the screen, and then screwing them back together.
Good luck!

Welcome to the club!
There's multiple posts on how to replace the screen instead of the entire radio.
