Iphone 13 pro is not focusing correctly when I try to make pictures through a plexi glass.

When I try to make a picture from behind a plexi canopy, the camera is often focusing on the plexi glass, in stead of the landscape behind it.

To the naked eye the plexi is clear, but I guess the LIDAR is detecting it as a surface on which it focuses.

Any fixes for that?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Try getting as close as you can to the glass before you open the camera. Also, if you tap on an object you are attempting to take a photo of, the camera can try to focus on that object, and you should see that as you are looking at the screen. Taking a photo through a glass, screen, or other surface can be very difficult for auto-focus devices.
