Lock screen style is not showing properly

After updating to ios 16 I am trying to set different lock screen photos/colours/patterns but none of them are showing as shown in preview. I’m providing photos of the preview and actual outcome for better understanding. Need urgent help 😢

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

It appears that your phone is in the Sleep Focus Mode. To see your customized lock screen, you'll need to turn that Focus Mode off, or edit the Sleep Focus settings so that the default custom lock screen is not used.
