Apple ID photo won’t change on settings, iCloud.com, and “Name & Photo” setting on Messages in settings.

I want to change my apple id photo from a memoji to my normal photo. However, when i try to, it appears for a second, then when I leave and see it again, it reverts to my memoji apple ID photo. I was able to change my contact photo, not apple id photo. I tried restarting, signing out, kicking signed in sessions and logging in again, nothing works. Please help

iPad Air, iPadOS 17
