Perhaps the TrueDepthCamera (at the front top notch) is obstructed by a screen protector.

See this support article:--> If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro – Apple Support

If the issue still persists, contact Apple Support:--> Get Support or have your XR inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (they are reopening after the lockdown).
