Face ID

My Face ID suddenly stopped working. I tried turning the iPhone XR off and on again. It didn't change anything. I then tried resetting my Face ID. I can see my face clearly in the frame, but it keeps telling me my face is out of view. I've tried using different lighting, standing vs sitting, but I keep getting the face is out of view message.
