Hi AnthonyTran_23,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

this feature needs to be disabled on the UEFI BIOS. To do that, turn off the laptop, then turn it on, immediately, press repeatedly F2, you will enter on the UEFI BIOS. On the left menu, select Power, scroll to the bottom and turn off the option Power On Lid Open, select "Apply the changes" and exit to finish.

If it is not clear enough you see the process on this video:
