#SHT41 Sensor Reading High?

I have an SHT41 sensor flashed with ESPHome but it's reading absurdly high on humidity and at least a few degrees high on temp. This is the config I'm using:

esphome:
  name: jeff-room-humidity-sensor
  friendly_name: Jeff Room Humidity Sensor

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: arduino

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  encryption:
    key: "REDACTED"

ota:
  - platform: esphome
    password: "REDACTED"

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Jeff-Room-Humidity-Sensor"
    password: "REDACTED"

captive_portal:

i2c:
  sda: GPIO32
  scl: GPIO33

sensor:
  - platform: sht4x
    temperature:
      name: "Temperature"
    humidity:
      name: "Relative Humidity"
    update_interval: 5s

The humidty from my roommate's AHT10 and my Nest Thermostat both read about 25% while this guy is showing 55%. Is there some sort of config error or other things I might have done wrong?

Esp32 will almost always read high on temperature due to self heating
