Where are my custom ringtones after iOS 17 update?

Where are my custom ringtone after ios 17 update? It appears that upgrading to iOS 17 has removed the ability to assign custom tones to a persons text or iMessage alert. All my tones still exist, but I’m unable to use any of them for alerts. Is this a bug or has this ability been removed? I’ve also noticed that for some contacts my settings have remained the way they were before the update…meaning when I get a message from them, the custom sound remains in place. But if you try to update the sound you’ll lose what is already in place and you cannot go back.

Do something!

I agree I would like to know where my ringtones have gone and why I cannot access them. Do you plan on reimbursing me for the money that I have spent? Because if you’re not, I will tell you right now you will lose every customer you have that is my friend that now has an iPhone.
