How to fix a faulty power button and fingerprint sensor?

Hi,
I am very new to the self-repair movement so hoping to find some help with this. I have a Samsung Galaxy A22-5g phone which has a faulty power button and a fingerprint (FP) sensor and was hoping to find a way to repair this on my own without spending over the top by going through "official Samsung service centres". Also, because it will be something fun to do, not to mention the sense of accomplishment that comes with fixing it yourself !
The issue I am having is that the power button just does not work. I need to double tap on my screen if I have to toggle between sleep and awake mode. This poses a problem if I ever have to completely power down my phone as I will have no way to physically switch it back on
The FP sensor, for this model, is part of the power button itself. I am not sure how to internal electronics are laid out so wanted to know if anyone here has had an issue similar to mine and how they managed to fix it? Basically, do I need to get separate replacement parts for the sensor and the power button ?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
