Perhaps you're having an issue because Metro is not according to Apple supporting eSim on iPhone?

I thought so, but Metro was acquired by T-Mobile, so I think they’re considered one company. I’ve been on the phone with their representatives twice in the past two days and they have the website set up to switch to eSim, but can’t seem to figure out the “technical problem” error message I keep having.
The list I linked is directly from Apple and supposedly the most current. I'm not sure the fact that Metro is owned by T-Mobile makes any difference. A good example of this would be Spectrum Mobile using Verizon. But for the first two years Spectrum provided cellular services, they could not support Apple Watch. Even though Verizon does support Apple Watch.
Metro is a lower cost provider, with lower cost service offerings.
You'll need to work directly with Metro on this. I'd visit one of their offices for in-person help. And if it can't be resolved, find a different carrier to use.
The Apple posted list seems to be almost always behind and it is always best to check with the carrier. Sometimes carriers are slow to notify Apple that they now support eSIM, other times Apple is slow to add the update.
