You can only tag the faces, that could be recognised as a face by Photos. See: Find people in Photos on iPhone - Apple Support

Open the photo, where the face should have been detected,

Open a photo of the person you want to add, then tap or swipe up to see the photo details.
The people identified in the photo appear in the bottom-left corner of the photo. Tap the face of a person with a question mark next to their picture to identify them.
Tap Tag with Name.
Type their name, tap Next, then tap Done.

If you have a Mac as well, you can add faces manually, that Photos has missed, and then sync the detected faces with iCloud Photos to the iPhone.
