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?

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.
