iOS 16.0.2 - Hidden Wifi SSIDs ain't being connected when avaliable.

Since i have update my iPhone 12pro to iOS 16.0.2, i am unable to connect to my office's wifi. It is pertinent to mention that SSID is hidden and every time i need to connect to this SSID, i just simply need to put the SSID and password by usiung the "other" option, though these credentials have already been saved and can be viewed in Settings-->Wi-Fi-->Edit.
