Welcome KevAte,
According to: Add a shortcut to the Home Screen on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Add a shortcut to the Home Screen on iPhone or iPad
You can add shortcuts to the Home Screen, and optionally group them into folders.
1. In My Shortcutsin the Shortcuts app on your iOS or iPadOS device, tap
on a shortcut, then tap
to open Details.
2. Tap Add to Home Screen.
3. Optional: To use a custom photo for a Home Screen icon, tap the icon (in the Home Screen Name and Icon area), then choose one of the following:
- Take Photo: Use the camera to take a new photo.
- Choose Photo: Select an existing photo from your Photos library.
- Choose File: Select a photo from the Files app.
4. Optional: To change the name that appears on the Home Screen, tap the name (in the Home Screen Name and Icon area), tap, enter a new name, then tap Return.
5. Tap Add.
The shortcut is added to your Home Screen.
There is no specific size format for these photos other than they should be stored within the Photos app.

Should the issue continue, is it specific to a photo or all photos added to the Shortcuts app? Have you tried recreating this with another photo?
Wishing you well, cheers.
