Apple Pay not working on Apple Watch 8

I recently bought a new iphone 14 and transferred all my credit cards over. Also updated on my Apple Watch 8 but but can’t seem to pay with my watch. Cards are showing as being there but only info is showed, no way to pay with them. Compared settings to my partners iPhone and watch and they’re the same but still can’t access Apple Pay on my watch. How do I fix this?

Have you been experimenting with Assistive Touch? Recently I had turned on AssistiveTouch in Accessibility. I had turned it off and Apple Pay was not working from the Watch,  I turned AssistiveTouch back on then turned OFF the “Confirm With AssistiveTouch”, then turned off AssistiveTouch again, and the ApplePay worked again, showing the “Hold Near Reader” when you double tap the side button 

Just a possibility.
