iPhone 12 Pro Max iMessage issue

When I text people they see my cloud email instead of my name. How can I switch this to just my name or phone number? In settings under iMessage, when I click Send & Recieve to change it to my phone number, my phone number is there and not greyed out but I still can't click it. Any ideas?


P.S. I just got this phone yesterday brand new.

P.P.S I keep getting "iMessage Activation: An error occurred during activation. Try again."
