Are you sure the 15 year old's account is actually set to 15 years old? If not does not appear for you to select it to turn on Ask to Buy it usually means the account has a birthdate that set it to over 18.
Verify the birthdate on the child account give them an age of 17 or less.

No. Just turn on the ask to buy feature. Outlined in the support article.
I guess I'd contact Apple Support. You should be able to tap Ask to Buy and then tap the person to turn it on/off. Are you the family organizer? Only the family organizer can enable this.
He is already on my family sharing plan but I now want to require permissions. so not clear how to adjust his access to the family plan if he is already on it? do I have to remove him from the plan and re-add him?
the article says click on Ask to Buy and when I do that the only option is to create an account for a Child. He already has an account and when I click on his name it just gives an option to consider him an adult or a Parent/Guardian or to Remove him from the Family Share plan
yes I'm the organizer. appreciate your suggestions
Is there a way to Ask Permission to use Family purchase for a 15 year old?
