Need Help

Hi, I am located in Australia. I rooted my device 2 months back. Everything was going all good. But since last 1 week i started facing some issues. Most of the time the error will pop up on the screen saying "google services has stopped working close app or send feedback". And it will come only for google services like youtube, maps, play store etc. Many times it will be for other apps also like snapchat and whatsapp. So here are the things i did in last 24 hours:

1) Factory Reset - did not solve

2) Unrooted my device following h t t p s : / / highonandroid . com/android-smartphones/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s9-s9-plus-w-stock-firmware/ downloaded stock firmware from here https : / / www . sammobile. com/firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965F/VAU/ I accidentally flashed the wrong firmware (G965FXXS1BRF3 instead of G965FXXU2BRGA) successfully. So at this time my phone was in worse condition got just stuck at rebooting.

3) Opened Smart Switch in my laptop then updated the firmware with it. -- still it did not resolved the issue. Again i flashed it with G965FXXS1BRF3 (because i did not know that i have downloaded the wrong file).

4) Immediately I went to Samsung, the guy told me that "Warranty Void is 1 so it will not cover in the warranty and we have to change the mother board which costs around $400" but he said before that lets try with software first, so he flashed with G965FXXU2BRGA using his Samsung laptop and flashing software. -- Again the phone is at the same stage, working fine but the error pops up on the screen and some times while using the phone or even while not using it the phone restarts.

5) I rebooted in recovery mode, did clear cache partition and then wipe data/factory reset.--- Still in the same condition.

So do you have any idea that how can it be solved? and i have a very slight doubt that it might be because of a liquid damage because i recently bought the screen protector which can be only stick with the glue which comes along and UV rays (https : / / www . aliexpress . com/item/Nano-Liquid-Full-Glue-Tempered-Glass-For-OPPO-Find-X-Screen-Protector-For-Samsung-Note-9/32888973806.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.39124c4deTz HEt).

Not sure is it a software issue or hardware. Please help.

Thanks in advance.
