Ipad Face ID doesn’t work

Camera works, but the Face ID is not working? There’s nothing wrong with the camera. It’s not blocked. I tried all of the “solutions“ nothing worked.

iPad Air 3, iPadOS 16

The FaceID camera array is reliant upon several components - including an IR camera and IR dot-projector. If any element of the array is faulty, FaceID will not work.
