iPhone only charges with USB C, doesn't work with old charger

I'm able to charge my iPhone 12 with a USB C charger but when I try using USB A it doesn't work. I've tried multiple brand new USB A chargers, cleaned the charging port, and reset my phone. It's been very frustrating; does anyone have a solution to this?

I've tried multiple USB-A cables both new and old, none of them work. I even tried using the USB-A cables on different phones and I had no issues charging, so I know it's not the cables. USB-A wasn't an issue on my iPhone 12 until this week.
