Different size Sim Cards for iPhone12 Pro Max?

I recently purchased an iPhone 12 Pro Max for the dual Sim functionality. I opened the tray to insert the two Sims.

The Sim on the top of the tray fit inside the notch without a problem, but the Sim that goes on the bottom of the tray doesn’t fit, even though it’s the same size.

Does the Sim tray use two different sizes, and will I have to cut the one Sim to make the dual Sim functionality work?

12 Pro sim tray does NOT accept two nano sims. How do I use it with two physical sims? Apple support states and illustrates how two nano SIM cards can be placed on the sim tray. Alas, my iPhone 12 Pro tray has no slot at the back to place a second nano SIM card. Has anyone else had this issue? How was it resolved? Thanks

Dual SIMs in iPhone 12 Pro Max Hello, I have two active SIMs, one is my personal cellular SIM and one is my business-related cellular SIM. I am trying to insert them both into an iPhone 12 Pro Max. When I eject the SIM tray, the top SIM has a place where the SIM can appropriately be seated for use of the primary SIM line. When following directions to attempt to utilize the bottom portion of the tray for the 2nd SIM, there is no allotted space for a 2nd SIM card to fit. Do I need to get a different SIM tray with spots for 2 SIM cards? These are both Nano SIMs

Only iPhones sold in China use 2 physical SIM cards.

iPhones sold everywhere else use 1 physical SIM card and a built in esim.

Thank you for the response. If I understand it correctly, I will have to go to one of my service providers to shift to an eSim to use the dual Sim functionality.
