I recently test my water in the middle of the week and found out my salinity was high it was 1032 I try bringing it down I been having my coral die now I’m trying to bring it down anything else I should do
 
I would bring it down with water changes so that you remove any harmful effects from the coral die off.

For example, maybe do a 25% water change with water mixed to 1.021-1.023. Then see what that brings your specific gravity to. Then maybe repeat 1-2 more times, adjusting the specific gravity appropriately, until hopefully you are back around 1.023-1.25 area.

Keep an eye on your nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia - may need to do larger water changes if the die off is really bad.
