Unable to set up Face ID

I am trying to set up my Face ID and when trying to position my face in the frame, no matter how perfectly centered I have it or how near or far, it says move iPhone lower. How do I fix this?

If you still need help, reset Face ID, then set it up again. Go to Settings > Face ID& Passcode and tap Reset Face ID. Then tap Set up Face ID to set it up again. If you can't enroll your face, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider or contact Apple Support.
