Try JavaScript click:

from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement


def javascript_click(self, locator):
    element = None
    if isinstance(locator, str):
        element = self.find_element(locator)
    elif isinstance(locator, WebElement):
        element = locator

    if element is not None:
        self._driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
    else:
        raise Exception("Could not click on locator " + element)
