Portrait mode editing options not working

I took a photo in portrait mode, but can’t edit the type of portrait mode it was taken in (normal, studio light, contour, etc.) on one specific photo. The portrait editing menu doesn’t appear when I try to edit the photo at all. I’m using an iPhone 12 and editing from the photos app.

You were shooting in portrait mode but that particular photo was NOT saved in portrait mode. The portrait mode will only be active if the face handlers are YELLOW on your screen before shooting otherwise it will be saved as a normal photo.
