Walker & Apple Pay missing from settings

Wallet kept saying that my phone number was invalid so I deleted the card trying to re-add it. Wallet wouldn’t let me add a card. Apple rep told me to take my phone in to get the iOS reinstalled. Now Wallet & Apple Pay is missing completely. Region is set to United States, so that isn’t the problem.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

I kept checking the region and it said United States but what fixed it was when I actually opened that menu and clicked on United States. My phone said “changing region to United States” and when it was done, Apple Pay finally worked.
