Can't change the time zone and it doesn't detect my location

The thing is, I recently bought a macbook and it has misidentified the time and my time zone right from the start. And when I want to manually change the time zone, I can't change this item, it is highlighted gray, I understand that for some reason I have a blocked time zone and in addition it doesn't detect my location on any map. Can you please tell me what to do?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.6

Same problem here. The answer provided not working. When the auto adjustment turns on, the Mac can't detect the right location. When it's turned off, the time zone can't be chosen. So you need to directly key in the "closest city" cell.
