Disable touchpad tap to click in certain areas

My palms resting on my touchpad are being detected as taps, even though I have set PalmDetect=1.

I've experienced the same problem using libinput in the past, and am currently using synaptics, but would switch back to libinput if a solution can be found there.

I've also tried playing with various settings of PalmMinWidth and PalmMinZ but with no luck.

My palms generally rest on the left and right edges. I have seen settings such as RBCornerButton but there is no RightEdgeButton.

Is there a way to enable tap to click only for the centre of the trackpad where my wrists never touch?
