Accidental keypresses on my first mechanical keyboard (kbin.social)

Just bought my first mechanical keyboard, an Epomaker RT100 with Flamingo switches. Is it normal to be accidentally pressing keys (mostly shift and spacebar) while just resting my fingers on the keyboard? Is it because I've only used membrane keyboards up until now, and I'll eventually get used to the new sensitivity? Or should I swap the switches out for something heavier/clickier?

I have the same keyboard. The space bar is so heavy with the light switches it almost presses itself. I'm thinking about replacing the switches on the larger keys to some linears with more force
