Face ID keeps saying move iPhone higher/lower latest IOS 14.5

Hi All,


I am using iPhone x with the latest version IOS 14.5.


My face id was working fine before the update and also was working after the update.


As of today, faceID stopped working. I tried to reset the face id.


When I tried to set up the face id, it keeps on saying move iPhone higher/lower.


I tried to reset/restart my iPhone but still the same.


Would be greatly appreciated if this issue can be resolved quickly.


Thanks
