My new iPhone 12 Pro apparently is "not compatible" with the face id, and I would have to use a pin to unlock the device. Even though it should be able to have it. I don't know if it is broken or set up yet, but is there anything I can do to get the face id to work again?

iPhone 12 Pro
An iPhone 12 is capable of Face ID. Apple has several documents helping you with Face ID.
This Support article is specific to seeing a 'disabled' Face ID alert, and explains what to do when you see that notice or an issue with the TrueDepth camera. --> If an alert says Face ID has been disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
Unless a software update solves the problem you may need to have Apple take a look at your device. Use this link to set up an appointment —> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple and this one to get a repair estimate —> iPhone Repair & Service - Apple Support
If you don't see a 'disabled' message but do have general issues with Face ID not working properly, explore the list of things to try in this document: If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
If the first 8 don't solve the issue then use #9, contact Apple.

If the phone is “new”, then it’s under warranty. Take it back to where you got it.
