The next step I would suggest is to buy a new phone, unfortunately.
This is because, if you have tried the steps posted by MrBill3 and they have not helped, the next step is to take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider or contact Apple Support.
However, the iPhone 6 out of warranty repair/replacement fee is $299 in the US, for an iPhone that is 5 years old and doesn't support iOS 13: iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support

FYI
I have had my 6 and my right thumb works but my left thumb only works for a day to a week and stops. I have other fingers do the same. My wife I can put hers in once and it sticks any finger. I just needed up living with one finger that works well with it.
I'd suggest you try your best to follow the instructions to put finger print on device and you work through all your fingers if you keep having problem - it could be like mine - one finger or more that just won't stick well.
Okay
I would delete finger prints
and ie turn off passcode
and make sure in
settings>touch ID
disable all settings
sign out of apple ID
Restart device, I would power down from general menu
reboot after a minute
log back into apple ID
turn on all settings you turned off earlier
Thanks but it’s not about the thumbs it says it is not working at all. But still thanks
How do you go to Touch ID settings
