As the size and connector of iPhone 7 are similar to iPhone 8, sometimes, people install the iPhone 7 LCD screen to the iPhone 8 motherboard to test whether it can work well. Once you have done this, the iPhone 8 screen touch may not work. Comparing the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 LCD screen flex cable connectors, they are the same, but the 3D Touch connectors are not the same. As the picture shown below, we can find the iPhone 7 3D Touch connector is wider than the iPhone 8.

If you install the iPhone 7 LCD screen to the iPhone 8, it may damage the 3D Touch connector on the iPhone 8 motherboard which leads to iPhone 8 screen fails to touch.
