Hi there Lish_squad11,


If you set up your Apple ID as the organizer of a family group, first ensure that you are using your Apple ID in iCloud on your device to avoid any confusion between you and your daughter's Apple IDs. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > [your name] and see if your Apple ID email address and name is accurate.


If it is showing your Apple ID correctly, then next use these steps from Set up Family Sharing to set up a family group with you as the organizer:

Start a family group
One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If purchase sharing is turned on, the family organizer pays for family members' purchases and must have a valid payment method on file.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.
Family Sharing is listed in the second section, below Find My.

4. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.


If your daughter's Apple ID needs to be moved to this family group, then follow this article next that you've already looked over: Move a child to another group using Family Sharing


If you are trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!
